Mark 9:48 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:48

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Mark 9:48 In-Context

46

48 In hell worms that eat the body never die, and the fire is never put out.

49 Everyone will be salted with fire.

50 Salt is good. But if salt loses its taste, how will you restore its flavor? Have salt within you, and live in peace with one another."
