New Testament

Matthew 18:1-6 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. At that time the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

2. And calling a child to himself, he had him stand in their midst

3. and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn around and become like young children, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven!

4. Therefore whoever humbles himself like this child, this person is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven,

5. and whoever welcomes one child such as this in my name welcomes me.

6. But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him that a large millstone be hung on his neck and he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
