Luke 17:2–8

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3

Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

4

If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
