Luke 17

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 17 of 24

1 And He said to the disciples, It is impossible that the stumbling-blocks should not come, but woe to him through whom they come!

2 It is profitable for him if a millstone turned by an ass is put around his neck, and he be thrown into the sea, than that he should stumble one of these little ones.

3 Take heed to yourselves. And if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
