Matthew 18:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
8 But if your hand or your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than to be thrown into the eternal fire having two hands or two feet. 9 And if your eye is causing you to fall, tear it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life one-eyed than to be thrown into the Gehenna[a] of fire having two eyes.
