Luke 17:1-4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Jesus spoke to his disciples. "Things that make people sin are sure to come," he said. "But how terrible it will be for the person who brings them!

2. Suppose people lead one of these little ones to sin. It would be better for those people to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck.

3. So watch what you do. "If your brother sins, tell him he is wrong. Then if he turns away from his sins, forgive him.

4. Suppose he sins against you seven times in one day. And suppose he comes back to you each time and says, 'I'm sorry.' Forgive him."

35-36. Two women will be grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other left."
