15 JUDGMENT & SALVATION (cont'd)
12 Sheep, Goats & Others (cont'd)
Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and
bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame. And the servant said,
Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. And the lord
said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them
to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, that none of
those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
l1421-4/m2209
But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man which had
not on a wedding-garment: and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in
hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. Then the king said
to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer
darkness; there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are
called, but few chosen. m2211-14
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall
teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever
shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
m0519
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth
shall be condemned. k1616
Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace,
but a sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law: and a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Children referred to in connection with Judgement & Salvation
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold
water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no
wise lose his reward.
m1042
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of
these little ones should perish. m1814
Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall
in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble
himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:
but whoso shall cause one of these little ones which believe on me to stumble,
it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his
neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world
because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions
come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!
m1803-7/l0948-50&1701-2/k0937-42
Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such
is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
