Mark 9:42–50

⁴²and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea. ⁴³‘And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire—the unquenchable— ⁴⁴where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

⁴⁵‘And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire—the unquenchable— ⁴⁶where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched. ⁴⁷And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire— ⁴⁸where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched; ⁴⁹for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted. ⁵⁰The salt is good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season it? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.’
