إنجيل القدّيس متّى .37-33:12
قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ: إِمَّا أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا الشَّجَرَةَ جَيِّدَةً وثَمَرَتَهَا جَيِّدَة، وإِمَّا أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا الشَّجَرَةَ فَاسِدَةً وثَمَرَتَهَا فَاسِدَة: فَمِنَ الثَّمَرَةِ تُعْرَفُ الشَّجَرَة
يَا نَسْلَ الأَفَاعي، كَيْفَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمُوا كلامًا صَالِحًا وأَنْتُم أَشْرَار؟ لأَنَّ الفَمَ مِنْ فَيْضِ القَلْبِ يَتَكَلَّم
أَلإِنْسَانُ الصَّالِحُ يُخْرِجُ الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ كَنْزِهِ الصَّالِح، والإِنْسَانُ الشِّرِّيرُ يُخْرِجُ الشُّرُورَ مِنْ كَنْزِهِ الشِّرِّير
وأَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّ كُلَّ كَلِمَةٍ بَطَّالَةٍ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا النَّاس، سَيُؤَدُّونَ عَنْهَا حِسَابًا في يَوْمِ الدِّين
فَإنَّكَ بِكَلامِكَ تُبَرَّر، وبِكَلامِكَ تُدَان
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18:1-5.10.
The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
He called a child over, placed it in their midst,
and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.
