Mark 9:42-50
Christian Standard Bible

Warnings from Jesus

42 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away(A) —it would be better for him if a heavy millstone(B) were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

43 “And if your hand causes you to fall away, cut it off.(C) It is better for you to enter life maimed(D) than to have two hands and go to hell, the unquenchable fire.[a](E) 45 And if your foot causes you to fall away, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame(F) than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.[b] 47 And if your eye causes you to fall away, gouge it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God(G) with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown(H) into hell,(I) 48 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.[c] 49 For everyone will be salted with fire.[d][e](J) 50 Salt is good, but if the salt should lose its flavor, how can you season it?(K) Have salt(L) among yourselves, and be at peace(M) with one another.”

Warnings from Jesus

42 “But whoever causes the downfall of one of these little ones who believe in Me(A)—it would be better for him if a heavy millstone[a](B) were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 43 And if your hand causes your downfall, cut it off.(C) It is better for you to enter life maimed(D) than to have two hands and go to hell—the unquenchable fire,(E) [44 where

Their worm does not die,
and the fire is not quenched.][b](F)[c]

45 And if your foot causes your downfall,(G) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame(H) than to have two feet and be thrown into hell— [the unquenchable fire,(I) 46 where

Their worm does not die,
and the fire is not quenched.][d](J)[e]

47 And if your eye causes your downfall, gouge it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God(K) with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown(L) into hell,(M) 48 where

Their worm does not die,
and the fire is not quenched.[f]

49 For everyone will be salted with fire.[g](N)[h] 50 Salt is good, but if the salt should lose its flavor, how can you make it salty?(O) Have salt(P) among yourselves and be at peace(Q) with one another.”
