Temptations to Sin
42 1“Whoever causes one of
2these little ones who believe in me to sin,
3it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43
4And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to
5hell, to
6the unquenchable fire.
45
7And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into
8hell.
47
9And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into
10hell,
48
‘where
11their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. ’
49
For everyone will be salted with fire.
50
12Salt is good,
13but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again?
14Have salt in yourselves, and
15be at peace with one another. ”
