Luke 17:3

3 Be on your guard. If your brother sins, [a] rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

Luke 17:3 In-Context

1 He said to His disciples, "Offenses will certainly come, but woe to the one they come through!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Be on your guard. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
