Matthew 18:1-20

1AtG1722 the sameG1565 timeG5610 cameG4334 the disciplesG3101 to JesusG2424, sayingG3004, WhoG5101G686 isG2076 the greatestG3187 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772? 2AndG2532 JesusG2424 calledG4341 a little childG3813 to himG4341, and setG2476 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of themG846, 3AndG2532 saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213, ExceptG3362 ye be convertedG4762, andG2532 becomeG1096 asG5613 little childrenG3813, ye shallG1525 notG3364 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 4WhoeverG3748 thereforeG3767 shall humbleG5013 himselfG1438 asG5613 thisG5124 little childG3813, the sameG3778 isG2076 greatestG3187 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 5AndG2532 whoeverG3739G1437 shall receiveG1209 oneG1520 suchG5108 little childG3813 inG1909 myG3450 nameG3686 receivethG1209 meG1691. 6ButG1161 whoeverG3739G302 shall causeG4624 oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398 whoG3588 believeG4100 inG1519 meG1691 to sin, it were betterG4851 for himG846 thatG2443 a millstoneG3458G3684 were hungG2910 aboutG1909 hisG846 neckG5137, andG2532 that he were drownedG2670 inG1722 the depthG3989 of the seaG2281.

7WoeG3759 to the worldG2889 because ofG575 offencesG4625! forG1063 it must needsG318 beG2076 that offencesG4625 comeG2064; butG4133 woeG3759 to that manG444 byG1565 whomG1223G3739 the offenceG4625 comethG2064! 8ThereforeG1161 ifG1487 thyG4675 handG5495 orG2228 thyG4675 footG4228 causeth thee to sinG4624, cutG1581 themG846 offG1581, andG2532 castG906 them fromG575 theeG4571G4675: it isG2076 betterG2570 for theeG4671 to enter intoG1525G1519 lifeG2222 lameG5560 orG2228 maimedG2948, rather thanG2228 havingG2192 twoG1417 handsG5495 orG2228 twoG1417 feetG4228 to be castG906 intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442. 9AndG2532 ifG1487 thyG4675 eyeG3788 causethG4624 theeG4571 to sin, pluckG1807 itG846 outG1807, andG2532 castG906 it fromG575 theeG4675: it isG2076 betterG2570 for theeG4671 to enterG1525 intoG1519 lifeG2222 with one eyeG3442, rather thanG2228 havingG2192 twoG1417 eyesG3788 to be castG906 intoG1519 hellG1067 fireG4442. 10Take heedG3708 that ye despiseG2706 notG3361 oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398; forG1063 I sayG3004 to youG5213, ThatG3754 inG1722 heavenG3772 theirG846 angelsG32 do alwaysG1223G3956 beholdG991 the faceG4383 of myG3450 FatherG3962 whoG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772. 11ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 is comeG2064 to saveG4982 that whichG3588 was lostG622. 12HowG5101 thinkG1380 yeG5213? ifG1437G5100 a manG444 hathG1096 an hundredG1540 sheepG4263, andG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 is gone astrayG4105, doth heG863 notG3780 leaveG863 the ninety and nineG1768, and goG4198 toG1909 the mountainsG3735, and seekG2212 that whichG3588 is gone astrayG4105? 13AndG2532 if soG1437 beG1096 that he findethG2147 itG846, verilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213G3754, he rejoicethG5463 moreG3123 overG1909 thatG846 sheep, thanG2228 overG1909 the ninety and nineG1768 whichG3588 wentG4105 notG3361 astrayG4105. 14Even soG3779 it isG2076 notG3756 the willG2307 ofG1715 yourG5216 FatherG3962 whoG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772, thatG2443 oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398 should perishG622.

15MoreoverG1161 ifG1437 thyG4675 brotherG80 shall trespassG264 againstG1519 theeG4571, goG5217 andG2532 tellG1651 himG846 his faultG1651 betweenG3342 theeG4675 andG2532 himG846 aloneG3441: ifG1437 he shall hearG191 theeG4675, thou hast gainedG2770 thyG4675 brotherG80. 16ButG1161 ifG3362 he willG191 notG3362 hearG191 thee, then takeG3880 withG3326 theeG4675 oneG1520 orG2228 twoG1417 moreG2089, thatG2443 inG1909 the mouthG4750 of twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 everyG3956 wordG4487 may be establishedG2476. 17AndG1161 ifG1437 he shall neglect to hearG3878 themG846, tellG2036 it to the churchG1577: butG1161G2532 ifG1437 he shall neglect to hearG3878 the churchG1577, let him beG2077 to theeG4671 asG5618 an heathenG1482 andG2532 a tax collectorG5057. 18VerilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213, WhateverG3745G1437 ye shall bindG1210 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 whateverG3745G1437 ye shall looseG3089 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3772. 19AgainG3825 I sayG3004 to youG5213, ThatG3754 ifG1437 twoG1417 of youG5216 shall agreeG4856 onG1909 earthG1093 concerningG4012 anyG3956 thingG4229 thatG3739G1437 they shall askG154, it shall be doneG1096 for themG846 byG3844 myG3450 FatherG3962 whoG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772. 20ForG1063 whereG3757 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 areG1526 gathered togetherG4863 inG1519 myG1699 nameG3686, thereG1563 am IG1510 inG1722 the midstG3319 of themG846.
