Lukas 17:1-10

1 7 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to his talmidim, It is impossible for the nisayon (temptation) to sin not to come, but oy through whom it comes.
2 It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he had been thrown into the sea than that he should cause a michshol for these little ones.
3 Pay attention to yourselves. If your ach sins and you rebuke him, and if he makes teshuva, grant him selicha (forgiveness).
4 And if shevah paamim during the yom he sins against you and shevah paamim he turns around to you saying, I make teshuva, you will grant him selicha.
5 And the Shlichim said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoneinu, increase our emunah.
6 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu said, If you have emunah like a mustard seed, you would have said to this mulberry etz, be uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have given you mishma’at.
7 But who among you, having an eved plowing or tending kevesim, when the eved comes in from the sadeh, will say to him, Here, come ofen ort (immediately) and recline at tish.
8 Rather, would he not say, Prepare something that I may have okhel; gird up your tunic and serve me until I am satisfied, and, after that, you may have okhel?
9 There is no obligatory effusive todah, when the eved only did his chiyuv (duty).
10 So also you, when you do all these things which are given you as mitzvot, say, We are useless avadim, we only did our chiyuv.
