Mark 9:43-48
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

43 And if your hand causes you to sin,[a] cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell,[b] to the unquenchable fire.[c] 45 And if your foot causes you to sin,[d] cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.[e][f] 47 And if your eye causes you to sin,[g] pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,[h] 48 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

Mark 9:43-48
New King James Version

43 (A)If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life [a]maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to [b]hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— 44 [c]where

(B)‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into [d]hell, [e]into the fire that shall never be quenched— 46 where

(C)‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into [f]hell fire— 48 where

(D)‘Their worm does not die
And the (E)fire is not quenched.’
