In context
1 Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
2 It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
