Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches his disciples concerning offenses, meekness, and humility (in peraea)
And he said to his disciples, It is impossible but that stumblingblocks will come; but woe to him through whom they come! It were better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea, than to cause one of these little ones to fall away. Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. read more.
And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him. And the apostles said to the Lord, Give us more faith. But the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to this sycaminetree, Be plucked up by the roots, and planted in the sea! and it would obey you. And which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he hath come in from the field, Come immediately and place thyself at table? Will he not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself and serve me till I have eaten and drunken, and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded? So also do ye, when ye have done all that hath been commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were bound to do.

Be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not the Son of man cometh. And Peter said to him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or also to all? And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful, the wise steward, whom his lord will place over his household, to give the portion of food in due season? Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing. I say to you in truth, that he will place him in charge of all his substance.

And from every one to whom much hath been given, will much be required; and to whom much hath been entrusted, of him will the more be demanded.

I speak in a way common among men on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as ye once yielded your members as slaves to impurity and to iniquity, in order to commit iniquity, so now yield your members as bondmen to righteousness in order to become holy. For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were not the bondmen of righteousness. What fruit then had ye at that time from those things of which ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been delivered from the slavery of sin, and having become the bondservants of God, ye have holiness as the fruit, and everlasting life as the end.
