Luke 17:1-4

Expanded Bible

Sin and Forgiveness^(A)

17 Jesus said to his ·followers [disciples], “·Things that cause people to sin [Stumbling blocks; Causes of sin; Temptations] ·will happen [are inevitable; ^Lit is impossible for them not to come], but ·how terrible for [^Lwoe to] the person who causes them to happen! ² It would be better for ·you [^Lhim; that person] to be thrown into the sea with a ·large [^Lmill] stone around ·your [^Lhis] neck than to cause one of these little ones to ·sin [stumble]. ³ So ·be careful [watch yourselves]!

“If ·another follower [fellow believer; ^Lyour brother (or sister)] sins, ·warn [rebuke] him, and if he ·is sorry and stops sinning [repents], forgive him. ⁴ If he sins against you seven times ·in one day [or each day] and ·says that he is sorry each time [repents seven times], forgive him.”
