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

44 where `their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'

45 And if thy foot cause thee to fall, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter halt into life than, having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched,

46 where `their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'

47 And if thine eye cause thee to fall, pluck it out. It is better for thee to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire,

48 where `their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'
