Mark 9:42-50
American Standard Version
42 And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe [a]on me to stumble, it were better for him if [b]a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into [c]hell, into the unquenchable fire.[d] 45 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into [e]hell. 47 And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into [f]hell; 48 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 49 For every one shall be salted with fire[g]. 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.
