Temptations and Trespasses

(Matthew 18:6–9, Mark 9:42–48)

17 [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.”
