Mark 9:43-47

43 1If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into 2 3hell, into the 4unquenchable fire,

44[5where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]

45If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into 6 7hell,

46[8where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]

47 9If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into 10 11hell,
