Luke 17:3

'Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

Young's Literal Translation

In The King James Version

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'
