Mark 9:46-48
New English Translation

47 If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out![a] It is better to enter into the kingdom of God[b] with one eye than to have[c] two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where their worm never dies and the fire is never quenched.

  2. Mark 9:47 sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus’ teaching. The nature of the kingdom of God in the NT and in Jesus’ teaching has long been debated by interpreters and scholars, with discussion primarily centering around the nature of the kingdom (earthly, heavenly, or both) and the kingdom’s arrival (present, future, or both). An additional major issue concerns the relationship between the kingdom of God and the person and work of Jesus himself.
