Matthew 18:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And whosoever shall receive one such little child in my Name, receiveth me.
6 (A)[a]But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 [b]Woe be unto the world because of offences, for it must needs be that [c]offences shall come, but woe be to that man by whom the offence cometh.
