dby - Matthew:18:1-9

dby@Matthew:18:1 @ In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?

dby@Matthew:18:2 @ And Jesus having called a little child to [him], set it in their midst,

dby@Matthew:18:3 @ and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

dby@Matthew:18:4 @ Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;

dby@Matthew:18:5 @ and whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receives me.

dby@Matthew:18:6 @ But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

dby@Matthew:18:7 @ Woe to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes!

dby@Matthew:18:8 @ And if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut it off and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, [rather] than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.

dby@Matthew:18:9 @ And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, [rather] than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.
