NETBible

I tell you the truth, 1  whoever does not receive 2  the kingdom of God like a child 3  will never 4  enter it.”

NET Notes

1 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

2 sn On receive see John 1:12.

3 sn 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.

4 tn The negation in Greek (οὐ μή, ou mh) is very strong here.
