Sin, Faith, Duty
Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.

It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.

Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”
Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.”

“When a servant comes in from plowing or taking care of sheep, does his master say, ‘Come in and eat with me’?
“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’?
No, he says, ‘Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.’
Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?
And does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not.
Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?
In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’”
So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ ”

On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.
