  • Matt 18:5-9 : 5 And who so shall receaue such a litle chylde in my name, receaueth me. 6 But who so shall offende one of these litle ones, which beleue in me, it were better for hym, that a myll stone were hanged about his necke, & that he were drowned in the deapth of the sea. 7 Wo vnto the worlde, because of offences. It must nedes be, that offences come: But wo to that man, by whom the offence commeth. 8 If then thy hande or thy foote offende thee, cut them of, and cast them from thee. It is better for thee to enter into lyfe, halt or maymed, rather then thou shouldest, hauyng two handes, or two feete, be cast into euerlastyng fyre. 9 And yf thyne eye offende thee, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: It is better for thee to enter into lyfe with one eye, rather then, hauyng two eyes, to be cast into hell fyre. 10 Take heede that ye despise not one of these litle ones: For I say vnto you, that in heaue their Angels do alwayes beholde the face of my father, which is in heauen. 11 For the sonne of man, is come to saue that which was lost. 12 Howe thynke ye? If a man haue an hundred sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leaue ninetie & nine, and goeth into the mountaynes, and seketh that which went astray? 13 And yf it so be that he fynde it, veryly I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine, which went not astray. 14 Euen so, it is not the wyll of your father in heauen, that one of these litle ones shoulde peryshe. 15 Moreouer, yf thy brother trespas agaynst thee, go and tell hym his faulte betwene thee and hym alone: If he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother. 16 But yf he heare thee not, then take yet with thee one or two: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, euery worde may be stablyshed. 17 If he heare not them, tell it vnto the Churche: If he heare not the Churche, let hym be vnto thee as an Heathen man, and a publicane.
