New Testament

Matthew 18:9-24 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

9. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.

10. See that ye do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in the heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens.

11. For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.

12. What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone astray?

13. And if it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine not gone astray.

14. So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones should perish.

15. But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16. But if he do not hear thee, take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.

17. But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.

18. Verily I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on the earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19. Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in the heavens.

20. For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21. Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?

22. Jesus says to him, I say not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

23. For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen.

24. And having begun to reckon, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
