Instructions

1He said to His disciples, “aIt is inevitable that 1stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!

2“aIt 1would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3“1Be on your guard! aIf your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

NLTNew Living Translation

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 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. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
