Matthew 18:2-7
2And He calledG4341 a childG3813 to Himself and setG2476 him amongG1722G3319 them, 3and saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 you 1changeG4762 and 2becomeG1096 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 3whoeverG3739G302 4causesG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 who believeG4100 in Me toG4624 5sinG4624, it isG4851 betterG4851 for him that a 6heavyG3684 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 7stumblingG4625 blocksG4625! For 8it is inevitableG318 that 9stumblingG4625 blocksG4625 comeG2064; but woeG3759 to the personG444 throughG1223 whomG3739 the 10stumblingG4625 blockG4625 comesG2064!
