Luke 17:2 In-Context

1 He said to the talmidim, "It is impossible that occasions of stumbling should not come, but woe to him through whom they come!

2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hanged about 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 turns again, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."

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