Matthew 18:2-7
2And He calledG4341 a childG3813 to Himself and setG2476 him 1beforeG1722G3319 them, 3and saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 you 2are convertedG4762 and 3becomeG1096 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 4whoeverG3739G302 5causesG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 who believeG4100 in Me to stumbleG4624, it 6would be betterG4851 for him to have a 7heavyG3684 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 8it is inevitableG318 that stumblingG4625 blocksG4625 comeG2064; but woeG3759 to that manG444 throughG1223 whomG3739 the stumblingG4625 blockG4625 comesG2064!
