And Jesus called a little child to him, and placed him in the midst of them, and said: Verily I say to you, Unless you turn and become as little children, you can not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. read more.
And whoever receives one such little child on my account, receives me; but whoever ensnares one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Alas for the world because of snares! for it is necessary that snares come: but alas for that man by whom the snare comes! If, then, your hand or your foot ensnares you, cut it off, and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye ensnares you, pull it out, and throw it from you. It is better to enter into life with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell-fire. Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, That their angels in heaven do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
