Mark 9:48 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:48

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
] This is repeated again, not only to assure the truth of the thing, but to raise the attention of the mind unto it, and fix an awful impression upon it: the Persic version renders it, "from whence thou shall never find redemption": there is no redemption from hell, as Origen and others have thought.

Mark 9:48 In-Context

46 where the worm of them dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

47 That if thine eye cause thee to stumble [That if thine eye offend thee], cast it out; it is better to thee to enter goggle-eyed into the realm of God, than have two eyes, and be sent into hell of fire [+than having two eyes to be sent into hell fire],

48 where the worm of them dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

49 And every man shall be salted with fire, and every slain sacrifice shall be made savoury with salt. [+Forsooth every man shall be salted, or made savory, with fire, and every slain sacrifice shall be salted with salt.]

50 Salt is good; [that] if salt be unsavoury, in what thing shall ye make it savoury? Have ye salt among you, and have ye peace among you [Have ye salt in you, and have peace among you].
