Matthew 18:9 in Context — Matthew 18

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.

9 E se o teu olho te faz pecar, arranca-o, e lança-o de ti. Melhor te é entrar com um olho na vida do que, tendo dois olhos, ser lançado no inferno de fogo.

10 Olhai para que não desprezeis a algum destes pequeninos; porque eu vos digo que os seus anjos nos céus sempre veem a face do meu Pai, que [está] nos céus.

11 Pois o Filho do homem veio para salvar o que havia se perdido.
