New Testament

Matthew 18:9-15 Amplified Bible (AMP)

9. And if your eye causes you to stumble and sin, pluck it out and throw it away from you; it is better (more profitable and wholesome) for you to enter life with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the hell (Gehenna) of fire.

10. Beware that you do not despise or feel scornful toward or think little of one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always are in the presence of and look upon the face of My Father Who is in heaven.

11. For the Son of man came to save [from the penalty of eternal death] that which was lost.

12. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray and gets lost, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain and go in search of the one that is lost?

13. And if it should be that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not get lost.

14. Just so it is not the will of My Father Who is in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost and perish.

15. If your brother wrongs you, go and show him his fault, between you and him privately. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother.
