1 Then he said unto the disciples, It is impossible that offenses will not come, but woe unto the one through whom they come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone turned by an ass were placed around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother should trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he trespasses against thee seven times in a day and seven times in a day turns again to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
