Mark 9:38–48

^38gNow John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

³⁹But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, ^hfor no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. ⁴⁰For ⁱhe who is not against ⁷us is on ⁸our side. ^41jFor whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.

Warning About Hell

Matt. 18:6–9

^42k“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me ⁹to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. ^43lIf your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life ¹maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to ²hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—⁴⁴³where

^m‘Their worm does not die

And the fire is not quenched.’

⁴⁵And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into ⁴hell, ⁵into the fire that shall never be quenched—⁴⁶where

ⁿ‘Their worm does not die

And the fire is not quenched.’

⁴⁷And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into ⁶hell fire—⁴⁸where

^o‘Their worm does not die

And the ^pfire is not quenched.’
