2 So Jesus called a child to come and stand in front of them,
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them.
3 and said, "I assure you that unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven.
3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child.
4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoever welcomes in my name one such child as this, welcomes me.
5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
6 "If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea.
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7 How terrible for the world that there are things that make people lose their faith! Such things will always happen - but how terrible for the one who causes them!
7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!
8 "If your hand or your foot makes you lose your faith, cut it off and throw it away! It is better for you to enter life without a hand or a foot than to keep both hands and both feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.
9 And if your eye makes you lose your faith, take it out and throw it away! It is better for you to enter life with only one eye than to keep both eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
