And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
