CARELESSNESS<\/strong><\/h2>\nLuke 17:1-3 (ESV) <\/b>
\n1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And he said to his disciples, \u201cTemptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!<\/span>
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.<\/span>
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nMatthew 18:1-7 (ESV) <\/b>
\n1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, \u201cWho is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?\u201d
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and said, \u201cTruly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.<\/span>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.<\/span>
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u201cWhoever receives one such child in my name receives me,<\/span>
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.<\/span>
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u201cWoe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nRomans 14:13 (ESV) <\/b>
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
FORGIVENESS<\/strong><\/h2>\nLuke 17:3-6 (ESV)<\/b>
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,<\/span>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, \u2018I repent,\u2019 you must forgive him.\u201d<\/span>
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The apostles said to the Lord, \u201cIncrease our faith!\u201d
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And the Lord said, \u201cIf you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, \u2018Be uprooted and planted in the sea,\u2019 and it would obey you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nEphesians 4:1-3 (ESV) <\/b>
\n1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.<\/span><\/p>\nMatthew 18:15-18 (ESV) <\/b>
\n15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u201cIf your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.<\/span>
\n16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.<\/span>
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.<\/span>
\n18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
