Luke 17:2-4
Worldwide English (New Testament)
2 A big stone should be tied around his neck and then he should be thrown into the sea. That would be better for him than to make one of these little children do wrong.
3 `Take care! If your brother does something bad, tell him what he has done. If he is sorry, then forgive him.
4 Maybe he will do wrong to you seven times in one day. But if he comes to you seven times in one day and says, "I am sorry for what I did," then you must forgive him.'
