Matthew 18:1-15

11At that 2timeG5610 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to JesusG2424 and saidG3004, “3WhoG5101 thenG686 is greatestG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772?” 2And He calledG4341 a childG3813 to Himself and setG2476 him 4beforeG1722G3319 them, 3and saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 you 5are convertedG4762 and 6becomeG1096 likeG5613 childrenG3813, you will not enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 4WhoeverG3748 thenG3767 humblesG5013 himselfG1438 as thisG3778 childG3813, he is the greatestG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 5And whoeverG3739G1437 receivesG1209 oneG1520 suchG5108 childG3813 in My nameG3686 receivesG1209 Me; 6but 7whoeverG3739G302 8causesG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 who believeG4100 in Me to stumbleG4624, it 9would be betterG4851 for him to have a 10heavyG3684 millstoneG3458 hungG2910 aroundG4012 his neckG5137, and to be drownedG2670 in the depthG3989 of the seaG2281.

7“WoeG3759 to the worldG2889 becauseG575 of its stumblingG4625 blocksG4625! For 11it is inevitableG318 that stumblingG4625 blocksG4625 comeG2064; but woeG3759 to that manG444 throughG1223 whomG3739 the stumblingG4625 blockG4625 comesG2064!

8“12IfG1487 your handG5495 orG2228 your footG4228 causesG4624 you to stumbleG4624, cutG1581 it offG1581 and throwG906 it from you; it is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 lifeG2222 crippledG2948 orG2228 lameG5560, thanG2228 13to haveG2192 twoG1417 handsG5495 orG2228 twoG1417 feetG4228 and be castG906 into the eternalG166 fireG4442. 914IfG1487 your eyeG3788 causesG4624 you to stumbleG4624, pluckG1807 it out and throwG906 it from you. It is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 lifeG2222 with oneG3442 eyeG3442, thanG2228 15to haveG2192 twoG1417 eyesG3788 and be castG906 into the 1617fieryG4442 hellG1067.

10“SeeG3708 that you do not despiseG2706 oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398, for I sayG3004 to you that 18their angelsG32 in heavenG3772 continuallyG1223G3956 seeG3708 the faceG4383 of My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 11[1920For the SonG5207 of ManG444 has comeG2064 to saveG4982 that which was lostG622.]

12“WhatG5101 do you thinkG1380? 21IfG1437 anyG5100 manG444 hasG1096 a hundredG1540 sheepG4263, and oneG1520 of them has goneG4105 astrayG4105, does he not leaveG863 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 on the mountainsG3735 and goG4198 and searchG2212 for the one that is strayingG4105? 13IfG1437 it turnsG1096 out that he findsG2147 it, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, he rejoicesG5463 overG1909 it moreG3123 thanG2228 overG1909 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 which have not goneG4105 astrayG4105. 14SoG3379 it is not the willG2307 22of your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772 that oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 perishG622.

15“23IfG1437 your brotherG80 sinsG26424, goG5217 and 25showG1651 him his faultG1651 26in privateG3441; ifG1437 he listensG191 to you, you have wonG2770 your brotherG80.
