Matthew 18:1-7 ▼

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 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 stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes!
