Matthew 18:1–10

At ^athe same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ²And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, ³And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye ^bbe converted, and ^cbecome as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵And ^dwhoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. ^6eBut whoso shall ^foffend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. ⁷Woe unto the world because of ^goffences! ^hfor it must needs be that offences come; ^hibut woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! ^8kWherefore if ^lthy hand or thy foot ^foffend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or ^mmaimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. ⁹And if ⁿthine eye ^foffend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into ^ohell fire.

¹⁰Take heed that ye despise not one of ^pthese little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven ^qtheir angels do always ^rbehold the face of ^smy Father which is in heaven.
