Mark 9:44-48

44[1where 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 2 3hell, 46[4where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] 47 5If 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 6 7hell, 48 8where their worm does not die, and 9the fire is not quenched.
