Matthew 18:1-20

11At that 2timeG5610 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to JesusG2424 and saidG3004, “3WhoG5101 thenG686 is greatestG3173 inG686 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772?” 2And He calledG4341 a childG3813 to Himself and setG2476 him amongG1722G3319 them, 3and saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 you 4changeG4762 and 5becomeG1096 likeG5613 childrenG3813, you will not enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 4SoG3767 whoeverG3748 will humbleG5013 himselfG1438 likeG5613 thisG3778 childG3813, he is the greatestG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 5And whoeverG3739G1437 receivesG1209 oneG1520 suchG5108 childG3813 in My nameG3686, receivesG1209 Me; 6but 6whoeverG3739G302 7causesG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 who believeG4100 in Me toG4624 8sinG4624, it isG4851 betterG4851 for him that a 9heavyG3684 millstoneG3458 be hungG2910 aroundG4012 his neckG5137, and that he be drownedG2670 in the depthsG3989 of the seaG2281.

7“WoeG3759 to the worldG2889 becauseG575 of its 10stumblingG4625 blocksG4625! For 11it is inevitableG318 that 12stumblingG4625 blocksG4625 comeG2064; but woeG3759 to the personG444 throughG1223 whomG3739 the 13stumblingG4625 blockG4625 comesG2064!

8“And 14ifG1487 your handG5495 orG2228 your footG4228 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, cutG1581 it offG1581 and throwG906 it awayG575 from you; it is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 lifeG2222 maimedG2948 orG2228 withoutG5560 aG5560 footG5560, thanG2228 to haveG2192 twoG1417 handsG5495 orG2228 twoG1417 feetG4228 and be thrownG906 into the eternalG166 fireG4442. 9And 15ifG1487 your eyeG3788 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, tearG1807 it outG1807 and throwG906 it awayG575 from you. It is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 lifeG2222 with oneG3442 eyeG3442, thanG2228 to haveG2192 twoG1417 eyesG3788 and be thrownG906 into the 1617fieryG4442 hellG1067.

10“SeeG3708 that you do not lookG2706 downG2706 onG2706 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 heavenG3772.19

12“WhatG5101 do you thinkG1380? 20IfG1437 anyG5100 manG444 hasG1096 a hundredG1540 sheepG4263, and oneG1520 of them goesG4105 astrayG4105, will he not leaveG863 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 on the mountainsG3735, and goG4198 and searchG2212 forG2212 the one that is lostG4105? 13And ifG1437 it turnsG1096 outG1096 that he findsG2147 it, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, he rejoicesG5463 overG1909 it moreG3123 thanG2228 overG1909 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 that have not goneG4105 astrayG4105. 14SoG3779 it is not the willG2307 21of your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772 for oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 to perishG622.

15“NowG1161 22ifG1437 your brotherG80 sinsG26423, goG5217 and 24showG1651 him his faultG1651 25in privateG3441; ifG1437 he listensG191 to you, you have gainedG2770 your brotherG80. 16But ifG1437 he does not listenG191 to you, takeG3880 oneG1520 orG2228 twoG1417 moreG2089 with you, soG2443 thatG2443 26on the 27testimonyG4750 of twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 everyG3956 28matterG4487 may be confirmedG2476. 17And ifG1437 he refusesG3878 toG3878 listenG3878 to them, 29tellG3004 it to the churchG1577; and ifG1437 he refusesG3878 toG3878 listenG3878 evenG2532 to the churchG1577, 30he is to be to you as 31a GentileG1482 and 32a taxG5057 collectorG5057. 18TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 33whateverG3745G1437 you 34bindG1210 on earthG1093 35shall have been boundG1210 in heavenG3772; and whateverG3745G1437 you 36looseG3089 on earthG1093 37shall have been loosedG3089 in heavenG3772.

19“AgainG3825 I sayG3004 to you, that ifG1437 twoG1417 of you agreeG4856 on earthG1093 aboutG4012 anythingG3956G4229 that they may askG154, 38it shall be doneG1096 for them 39by My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 20For whereG3757 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 have gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in My nameG3686, 40I amG1510 thereG1563 in their midstG3319.”
