Mark 9:46 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:46

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
] The Persic version renders it, "because from thence there can be no deliverance": which is rather an interpretation of these figurative expressions, and is a good one; since they design the eternity of hell torments, as well as point at the anguish and misery of them.

Mark 9:46 In-Context

45 If your foot causes you to lose your faith, cut it off! It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.
47 If your eye causes you to lose your faith, tear it out! It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell.
48 In hell worms that eat the body never die, and the fire is never put out.
