(19) ] saith: Verily the Son can do nothing of Himself; but what he seeth his Father do, the Son does also: Also, [Matt. xviii. 3] If you do not convert, and become like children, you cannot come into the kingdom of heaven.

(17) And purity is "to think holy thoughts." "Except ye become as these little children, ye shall not enter," it is said, "into the kingdom of heaven."

(161) For Christ saith [John iii. 3,7],"You must be born anew, or else you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven."

(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to His disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the Kingdom." They said to Him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the Kingdom?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter ."

(32) For Christ said also, Let little Children come to me, for to such belongs the Kingdom of God. Say not, What does Baptism avail a Child, which understands it not? The Matter lies not in our Understanding, we are altogether ignorant concerning the Kingdom of God. If the Child be a Bud, grown in thy Tree, and that thou standest in the Covenant, why bringest thou not also thy Bud 1 into the Covenant? Thy Faith is its Faith, and thy Confidence towards God in the Covenant is its Confidence. It is indeed thy Essences, and generated from thy Soul. And thou art to know, according to its exceeding Worth, if thou art a true Christian, in the Covenant of Jesus Christ, that thy Child also (in the Kindling of its Life) passes into the Covenant of Christ, and though it should die in the Mother's Womb, it would be found in the Covenant of Christ. For the Deity stands in the Center of the Light of Life; and so now if the Tree stands in the Covenant, then the Branch may well do so.

(4) "I tell you the truth, whoever will receive life and believe in the kingdom will never leave it, not even if the father wants to banish him.

(4) Jesus said, "The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same."

(44) If you be born of God, then you [may] thus understand God, Paradise, the Kingdom of Heaven and Hell, and the Entrance in, and End of the Creatures, [and] the Creation of this World; but if not, then the Vail is as well before your Eyes, as it was upon Moses. Therefore saith Christ; Seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you: No Son asketh his Father for an Egg, that he should give him a Scorpion: Also my Father will give the Holy Spirit to them that ask it.

(46) Jesus said, "Among those born of women, from Adam until John the Baptist, there is no one so superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him). Yet I have said whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with the Kingdom and will become superior to John."

(5) He said, "I tell you the truth, no one will ever enter the kingdom of heaven because I ordered it, but rather because you yourselves are filled. Leave James and Peter to me that I may fill them."
