Mark 9:43-50

43“And if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than, having two hands, to go to Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire.

44[footnote: Verses omitted; some mss. read: where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]

45And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off! It’s better for you to enter life lame than, having your two feet, to be thrown into Gehenna.

46[footnote: Verses omitted; some mss. read: where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]

47If your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out! It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to be thrown into Gehenna,

48where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’

49“For everyone will be salted with fire.

50Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you flavor it? Have salt in yourselves, and keep shalom with one another.”
