Luke 17:1-6

1 And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to him] by whom they come!

2 It would be [more] profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.

3 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.

4 And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.

6 But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
