Matthew 18:6 in Context — Matthew 18

4 Así que, cualquiera que se humillare como este niño, éste es el mayor en el reino de los cielos.

5 Y cualquiera que recibiere á un tal niño en mi nombre, á mí recibe.

6 Y cualquiera que escandalizare á alguno de estos pequeños que creen en mí, mejor le fuera que se le colgase al cuello una piedra de molino de asno, y que se le anegase en el profundo de la mar.

7 ¡Ay del mundo por los escándalos! porque necesario es que vengan escándalos; mas ¡ay de aquel hombre por el cual viene el escándalo!

8 Por tanto, si tu mano ó tu pie te fuere ocasión de caer, córtalo y échalo de ti: mejor te es entrar cojo ó manco en la vida, que teniendo dos manos ó dos pies ser echado en el fuego eterno.
