Mark 9:43-48
New International Version

43 If your hand causes you to stumble,(A) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell,(B) where the fire never goes out.(C) [44] [a] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble,(D) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.(E) [46] [b] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble,(F) pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,(G) 48 where

“‘the worms that eat them do not die,
    and the fire is not quenched.’[c](H)

Mark 9:43-48
Common English Bible

43 If your hand causes you to fall into sin, chop it off. It’s better for you to enter into life crippled than to go away with two hands into the fire of hell, which can’t be put out.[a] 45 If your foot causes you to fall into sin, chop it off. It’s better for you to enter life lame than to be thrown into hell with two feet.[b] 47 If your eye causes you to fall into sin, tear it out. It’s better for you to enter God’s kingdom with one eye than to be thrown into hell with two. 48 That’s a place where worms don’t die and the fire never goes out.[c]
