Matthew 18:3-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you [a]are converted and (A)become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever then humbles himself as 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 stumble, it [b]would be better for him to have a [c]heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 18:3-6
Young's Literal Translation
3 and said, `Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;
4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.
5 `And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,
6 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.
