Matthew 18:2-6
English Standard Version
2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you (A)turn and (B)become like children, you (C)will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 (D)Whoever humbles himself like this child is the (E)greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 (F)“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6 but (G)whoever causes one of these (H)little ones who believe in me to sin,[a] it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
