Mark 9:42-50

Chapter 9
42 Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is better for him if a donkey's millstone is hung around his neck and he is thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is good for you to enter life lame rather than having two feet and being thrown into Gehenna. 47 If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God one-eyed than to have two eyes and be thrown into Gehenna. 48 where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. 49 For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good. But if the salt becomes insipid, what will you use to salt it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
