Matthew 18:1-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

Greatness in the Kingdom^(A)

18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

² He called a little child and had him stand among them. ³ Then he said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whoever becomes like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me.

Causing Others to Lose Faith^(B)

⁶ “These little ones believe in me. It would be best for the person who causes one of them to lose faith to be drowned in the sea with a large stone hung around his neck.
