8 “If your hand or your foot causes you to sin,[b] cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than to have two hands or two feet and to be thrown into the eternal fire.(B) 9 And if your eye causes you to sin,[c] tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into the hell[d] of fire.(C)

Lexham English Bible
7 Woe to the world because of causes for stumbling, for it is a necessity that causes for stumbling come; nevertheless, woe to the person through whom the cause for stumbling comes. 8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it[a] from you! It is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire! 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it[b] from you! It is better for you to enter into life one-eyed than, having two eyes, to be thrown into fiery hell!
