Matthew 18:3
Except ye be converted. The Revised Version translates, "Except ye
turn", which is correct. The Greek word "strepho" translated in the
Common Version "be converted" is found in the New Testament in the
active voice in every instance but one, and means "to turn". It means
something that the subject is "to do", not something that is to be done
for him.
Become as little children. Humble, teachable and free from selfish
ambition, like little children.
Ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Instead of
discussing who should be greatest in the kingdom of heaven, they had
better inquire whether they were going to get in at all.
