Temptations to Sin

42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe [fn]in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a [fn]millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 43 If yoʋr hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off. It is better for yoʋ to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable [fn]fire, 44 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 45 And if yoʋr foot causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off. It is better for yoʋ to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into [fn]hell, into the unquenchable fire, 46 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 47 And if yoʋr eye causes yoʋ to stumble, tear it out. It is better for yoʋ to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and [fn]be thrown into [fn]the fires of hell, 48 ‘where [fn]their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with [fn]fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. 50 Salt is good, but if it becomes unsalty, with what shall you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
