Luke 17:3
Douay-Rheims
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.
Ambrose of Milan
Or this number is used because God rested on the seventh day from His works. After the seventh day of the world everlasting rest is promised us, that as the evil works of that world shall then cease, so also may the sharpness of punishment be abated.
