  • Matt 18:5-9 : 5 And whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me. 6 But whoever offends one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him that a millstone were hung around his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For it must be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! 8 Therefore if your hand or your foot offends you, cut them off and cast them from you: it is better for you to enter into life crippled or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if your eye offends you, pluck it out and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 10 Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, That in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. 11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. 12 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that has gone astray? 13 And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray. 14 Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. 15 Moreover if your brother trespasses against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church: but if he refuses to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax collector.
