Luke 17:1-6

Faithful service

1 Jesus said to his disciples, " Things that cause people to trip and fall into sin must happen, but how terrible it is for the person through whom they happen.

2 It would be better for them to be thrown into a lake with a large stone hung around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to trip and fall into sin.

3 Watch yourselves! If your brother or sister sins, warn them to stop. If they change their hearts and lives, forgive them.

4 Even if someone sins against you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times and says, ‘I am changing my ways,' you must forgive that person."

5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

6 The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
