Matthew 18:9 Context
7¶ Woe vnto the world because of offences: for it must needs be that offences come: but wo to that man by whom the offence commeth. 8Wherefore if thy hand or thy foote offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather then hauing two hands or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. 9And if thine eie offend thee, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eie, rather then hauing two eies, to be cast into hell fire. 10Take heed that yee despise not one of these little ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels do alwaies behold the face of my father which is in heauen. 11For the sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.
