Matthew:18:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
At that time the disciples came to Jesus ,
saying , "
Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven ?"
*
Then Jesus called a little child to Him ,
set him in the midst of them ,
*
and said , "
Assuredly ,
I say to you ,
unless you are converted and become as little children ,
you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven .
*
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven .
*
Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me .
* "
Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin ,
it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck ,
and he were drowned in the depth of the sea .
*
Woe to the world because of offenses !
For offenses must come ,
but woe to that man by whom the offense comes !
* "
If your hand or foot causes you to sin ,
cut it off and cast it from you .
It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed ,
rather than having two hands or two feet ,
to be cast into the everlasting fire .
*
And if your eye causes you to sin ,
pluck it out and cast it from you .
It is better for you to enter into life with one eye ,
rather than having two eyes ,
to be cast into hell fire .
