Matthew 18:2-5
International Standard Version
2 Calling a little child forward, he had him stand among them. 3 Then he said, “I tell all of you[a] with certainty, unless you change[b] and become like little children, you will never get into the kingdom from[c] heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom from[d] heaven, 5 and whoever receives a little child like this in my name receives me.”
