Matthew 18:1-9
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.
