Matthew 18:6 in Context — Matthew 18

4 Assim, qualquer um que for humilde como esta criança, este é o maior no reino dos céus.

5 E qualquer um que receber a uma criança como esta em meu nome, recebe a mim.

6 Mas qualquer um que conduzir ao pecado a um destes pequeninos que creem em mim, melhor lhe fora que uma grande pedra de moinho lhe fosse pendurada ao pescoço, e se afundasse no fundo do mar.

7 Ai do mundo por causa das tentações do pecado! Pois é necessário que as tentações venham, mas ai daquela pessoa por quem a tentação vem!

8 Portanto, se a tua mão ou o teu pé te faz pecar, corta-os, e lança-os de ti; melhor te é entrar manco ou aleijado na vida do que, tendo duas mãos ou dois pés, ser lançado no fogo eterno.
