Luk 18:17 | NETfull | STEP | I tell you the truth, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

Luke 18:17

17 I tell you the truth, ^{▼▼ Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”} whoever does not receive ^{▼▼ On receive see John 1:12.} the kingdom of God like a child ^{▼▼ The point of the comparison receive the kingdom of God like a child has more to do with a child’s trusting spirit and willingness to be dependent and receive from others than any inherent humility the child might possess.} will never ^{▼▼ The negation in Greek used here (οὐ μή, ou mē) is very strong.} enter it.”
