At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

“Truly I tell you,”
He said,
“unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

BSB
BSB:
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7
TBX
“Inye lalei pyaweing en xomaxoneing wei tembuing ne eno mi wong xel amba mi tei en sewokeing. Zonghek, lul nilul ambei nyon eno tyek nam, ekom tambiy wei wong inyon tyip eno e gyaleeng!

Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!

Om wangwei wa memam o wa vaxam na toung wang eivek sewokeing, ond qateiv veil me nex e la. Inye nimza bei wang na eivek mapieing luta luta is memam tixemou o vaxam tixemou, enok wa memam yuw o vaxam yuw ekom xel banex wang na eivek nenyex wei luta luta yo.
BSB
BSB:
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
9

Me wangwei wa mamghalus na toung wang eivek sewokeing, ond qepei e lam myayaing me nex e la. Inye nimza bei wang na mendei mapieing is mamghalus tixemou enok wa mamghalus yuw ekom xel banex wang na eivek nenyex wei luta luta yo.
BSB
BSB:
And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

BSB
BSB:
What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
13
TBX
De wangwei e gyeiwou nei, a neil wou xam zonghek, moxo tyek bo xeilala en tiwei lati yo de se 99 wei se lati yo.

“Wangwei lim bo sewokeing wou wang, ond eivek muw venaxow senghoing eno la me neil e xe nilul teyei wou e. Wangwei e ngowou wa xe qayeeng, yon nambei wang qou lim loum.
BSB
BSB:
If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

BSB
BSB:
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

“A neil wou xam zonghek, vatiyeiw wei xam ghe tup lek tembuing eno tyek Anutu na tup eivek tyoung gheyapu, de vatiyeiw wei xam ghe tul lek tembuing eno tyek Anutu na tul veil eivek tyoung gheyapu.

BSB:
Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

As he began the settlements, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to him.

Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.

Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’

His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.

BSB
BSB:
But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
29
TBX
“Moxo xe laxous wei luw mi wong xuk lekti eno ev vaxa qatu eivek me tay wou e, ‘Wam di daxe ay, en tyek a bong malew vateivek wei a qou eno nouk zeyi wou wang.’

So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’

Then the master summoned him and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
