2 It would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large stone around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to sin.
3 So be careful!“If another follower sins, warn him, and if he is sorry and stops sinning, forgive him.
4 If he sins against you seven times in one day and says that he is sorry each time, forgive him.”
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Give us more faith!”
6 The Lord said, “If your faith were the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Dig yourself up and plant yourself in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 “Suppose one of you has a servant who has been plowing the ground or caring for the sheep. When the servant comes in from working in the field, would you say, ‘Come in and sit down to eat’?
8 No, you would say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat. Then get yourself ready and serve me. After I finish eating and drinking, you can eat.’
