Mark 9:43-49
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. 49 For every one will be salted with fire.[i]
