Compare Luke 17:4
This teaching is difficult, even though it’s quite easy to understand.
One thing that it doesn’t entail, though, in my view, is the idea that we need to keep coming back to be sinned against, over and over again.
This isn’t a doctrine of “shunning,” but it’s also not a commandment to be a fool.
Jesus wasn’t an idiot, and he isn’t asking his disciples to be idiots, either. Just saints. Which is rather a different thing.
