Mark 9:37–47

³⁷John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us: and we forbade him.

³⁸But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name and can soon speak ill of me.

³⁹For he that is not against you is for you.

⁴⁰For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

⁴¹And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea.

⁴²And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:

⁴³Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

⁴⁴And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting than having two feet to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:

⁴⁵Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

⁴⁶And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:

⁴⁷Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
