Luke:17:1-10

*
Then he said to his disciples , »
Things that cause people to sin are bound to come ,
but woe to him through whom they do come !
*
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea ,
than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin .
*
Take heed to yourselves ;
if your brother sins ,
rebuke him ,
and if he repents ,
forgive him .
*
And if he sins against you seven times in a day ,
and turns to you seven times ,
and says ,
I repent ,
you must forgive him .«
*
The apostles said to the Lord , »
Increase our faith !«
*
So the Lord said , »
If you have faith as a mustard seed ,
you can say to this mulberry tree ,
Be uprooted and be planted in the sea ,
and it would obey you .
* »
Will any one of you ,
who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep ,
say to him when he has come in from the field ,
Come at once and sit down to eat ?
*
Will he not rather say to him ,
Prepare my supper ,
and gird yourself and serve me ,
till I eat and drink ;
and afterward you shall eat and drink '?
*
Does he thank the servant because he did what he was commanded ?
*
So you also ,
when you have done all that is commanded you ,
say ,
We are unworthy servants ;
we have only done what was our duty .«
