This is a way of referring to people in general. Alternate translation: "out of all people who have ever lived"
# the least important person in the kingdom of heaven
Here "kingdom of heaven" refers to God's rule as king. The phrase "kingdom of heaven" is used only in Matthew. If possible, try to keep "heaven" in your translation. Alternate translation: "the least important person under the rule of our God in heaven" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
Here "kingdom of heaven" refers to God's rule as king. Alternate translation: "the least important person under the rule of our God in heaven"
