Matthew 18:2-7
New American Standard Bible
2 And He called a child to Himself and set him among them, 3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you [a]change and (A)become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 So whoever will humble himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me; 6 but (B)whoever (C)causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to [b]sin, it is better for him that a [c]heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Stumbling Blocks
7 “Woe to the world because of its [d]stumbling blocks! For (D)it is inevitable that [e]stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person through whom the [f]stumbling block comes!
