Matthew 18:1-7
11At that 2time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “3Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2And He called a child to Himself and set him among them, 3and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you 4change and 5become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4So whoever will humble himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5And whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me; 6but 6whoever 7causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to 8sin, it is better for him that a 9heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7“Woe to the world because of its 10stumbling blocks! For 11it is inevitable that 12stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person through whom the 13stumbling block comes!
