Mark

Mark 9:43–49

⁴³If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell,^e into the unquenchable fire.^f ⁴⁵If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.^g ⁴⁷And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, ⁴⁸where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’^h

⁴⁹For everyone will be salted with fire.ⁱ
