and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.

Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first.

If therefore ye cannot do even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?

For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.

And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.
