1 Iʼ that ʼoor cam the disciples till Jesus, and quoʼ they, “Wha is boonmaist iʼ the Kingdom oʼ Heeven?”
And he caʼd till him a bairn, and set him iʼ the mids oʼ them,
“But the ane wha is greatest amang ye sal be the ane that serʼs.
And quoʼ he, “Repent ye aʼ! for the kingdom oʼ Heeven is at haun!”
“It isna ilka ane that cries oot ‘Lord, Lord!’ that gangs intil the Kingdom oʼ Heeven; but he that daes the wull oʼ my Faither wha is in Heeven.
In britherly love schaw tender affection ane to anither; in giean honor, surpassin ane anither.
Doin naething for strifeʼs sake, nor for prideʼs sake; but in humbleness oʼ mind, lookin aye on ane‐anither as bein better nor yersels.
