Matthew 18:8-10
New King James Version
8 (A)“If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into [a]hell fire.
The Parable of the Lost Sheep(B)
10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven (C)their angels always (D)see the face of My Father who is in heaven.
