ylt - Matthew:18:1-9

ylt@Matthew:18:1 @At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, 'Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?'

ylt@Matthew:18:2 @And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them,

ylt@Matthew:18:3 @and said, 'Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;

ylt@Matthew:18:4 @whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.

ylt@Matthew:18:5 @'And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,

ylt@Matthew:18:6 @and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.

ylt@Matthew:18:7 @'Wo to the world from the stumbling-blocks! for there is a necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but wo to that man through whom the stumbling-block doth come!

ylt@Matthew:18:8 @'And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during.

ylt@Matthew:18:9 @'And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire.
