Causing to Sin

171 He said to His disciples , " It is inevitable e that stumbling blocks come , but woe to him through whom they come ! 2 " It would 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 "Be on your guard ! If your brother sins , rebuke him; and if he repents , forgive him. 4 "And if he sins against you seven times a day , and returns to you seven times , saying , 'I repent ,' forgive him."

Increase Our Faith

5 The apostles said to the Lord , "Increase our faith !" 6 And the Lord said , "If you had faith like a mustard seed , you would say to this mulberry tree , 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea '; and it would obey you.

The Servant's Duty

7 "Which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep , will say to him when he has come in from the field , 'Come immediately and sit down to eat'? 8 "But will he not say to him, ' Prepare something for me to eat , and properly clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink ; and afterward e you may eat and drink '? 9 "He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded , does he? 10 "So you too , when you do all the things which are commanded you, say , 'We are unworthy slaves ; we have done only that which we ought to have done .' "
