42“1WhoeverG3739 causesG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 2littleG3398 onesG3398 who believeG4100 to stumbleG4624, it 3would be betterG2570 G3123 for him ifG1487, with a heavyG3684 millstoneG3458 hungG4029 aroundG4012 his neckG5137, he 4had been castG906 into the seaG2281. 43 5IfG1437 your handG5495 causesG4624 you to stumbleG4624, cutG609 it offG609; it is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 lifeG2222 crippledG2948, thanG2228, havingG2192 your twoG1417 handsG5495, to goG565 into 6 7hellG1067, into the 8unquenchableG762 fireG4442, 44[9whereG3699 their wormG4663 does not dieG5053, and the fireG4442 is not quenchedG4570.] 45IfG1437 your footG4228 causesG4624 you to stumbleG4624, cutG609 it offG609; it is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 lifeG2222 lameG5560, thanG2228, havingG2192 your twoG1417 feetG4228, to be castG906 into 10 11hellG1067, 46[12whereG3699 their wormG4663 does not dieG5053, and the fireG4442 is not quenchedG4570.] 47 13IfG1437 your eyeG3788 causesG4624 you to stumbleG4624, throwG1544 it out; it is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 with oneG3442 eyeG3442, thanG2228, havingG2192 twoG1417 eyesG3788, to be castG1544 into 14 15hellG1067, 48 16whereG3699 their wormG4663 does not dieG5053, and 17the fireG4442 is not quenchedG4570.

49“For everyoneG3956 will be saltedG233 with fireG4442. 50SaltG217 is goodG2570; but 18ifG1437 the saltG217 becomesG1096 unsaltyG358, with whatG5101 will you 19makeG741 it saltyG741 again? 20HaveG2192 saltG217 in yourselvesG1438, and 21be at peaceG1514 with oneG240 anotherG240.”
