Exegesis
The comparative particle hōs {ὡς | hōs} links this transformation to the exemplar ta paidia {τὰ παιδία | tà paidía} ‘the children.’
In context — Matthew 18:3
And He said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like children , you shall certainly not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.”
