Matthew 18 : 1 14 1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 And He called a child to Himself and set him among them, 3 and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 "So whoever will humble himself like this child, he is the greatest in the
Matthew 18 : 1 14 kingdom of heaven. 5 "And whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me; 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 "Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that
Matthew 18 : 1 14 stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes! 8 "And if your hand or your foot is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; it is better for you to enter life maimed or without a foot, than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire. 9 "And if your eye is causing you
Matthew 18 : 1 14 to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you.

If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains, and go and search for the one that is lost? 13 "And if it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray. 14 "So it is not the will of your
