“Do not despise* the least* from the people among you”. And I’ll tell you why.
” In heaven, the angels channel all they see into the presence of my Father, who is in heaven, because the Son of man came to save all those who are perishing.”
“It is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that even one of the least of you should perish.”
