New International Version

Matthew 18:2-7

2He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them.

3And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

4Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

6“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

7Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!
