Mark 9:43-49 And if your hand becomes the occasion for falling away from God, cut it off; it would be better for you to enter never ending life disabled, rather than keeping both hands and going to hell, into the fire that cannot be put out i.e., all because it caused you to fall away from God. {{Verse 44 is absent from many manuscripts}}.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴³ And if your hand becomes the occasion for falling away [from God], cut it off; it would be better for you to enter [never ending] life disabled, rather than keeping both hands and going to hell, into the fire that cannot be put out [i.e., all because it caused you to fall away from God]. {{Verse 44 is absent from many manuscripts}}. ⁴⁴ (OMITTED TEXT) ⁴⁵ And if your foot becomes the occasion for falling away [from God], cut it off; it would be better for you to enter [never ending] life crippled, rather than keeping both feet and being thrown into hell. {{Verse 46 is absent from many manuscripts}}. ⁴⁶ (OMITTED TEXT) ⁴⁷ And if your eye becomes the occasion for falling away [from God] gouge it out; it would be better for you to enter the kingdom of God with [only] one eye, rather than keeping both eyes and being thrown into hell [i.e., all because one of them caused you to fall away from God]. ⁴⁸ For in hell the worm of those who are there will never die [i.e., their gnawing punishment will never cease] and the fire [there] will never go out. ⁴⁹ For everyone will be salted with fire. [Note: This meant either the suffering “salt” of fiery trials (the sacrifices of verses 43-47 or the punishing “salt” of being thrown into a fiery hell (verse 45-48)].
