Luke 17:1-4

Listen to Luke 17:1-4

Temptations to Sin

1 And he said to his disciples, 1“Temptations to sin[a] are 2sure to come, but 3woe to the one through whom they come!
2 4It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. [b]
3 Pay attention to yourselves! 5If your brother sins, 6rebuke him, and if he repents, 7forgive him,
4 and if he sins against you 8seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent, ’ you must forgive him. ”
