24. Mark 9:43-48
43 If your hand causes you to
sin, cut it off. It is better for

to go to hell, into the fire that
shall never be quenched—

25. Mark 9:43-48
44 where ‘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
hell, into the fire that shall never
be quenched—

26. Mark 9:43-48
46 where ‘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 hell fire—

27. Mark 9:43-48
48 where ‘Their worm does
not die and the fire is not
quenched.’
