Matthew 18:1-7

1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “So who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

2He called a small child and had him stand among them.

3“Truly I tell you,” he said, “unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child — this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5And whoever welcomes one child like this in my name welcomes me.

6“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away — it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.

7Woe to the world because of offenses. For offenses will inevitably come, but woe to that person by whom the offense comes.
