It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should [a]offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves. (A)If your brother sins [b]against you, (B)rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns [c]to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
