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

47 And if your eye distracts you from God, pull it out and throw it away.
48 You're better off one-eyed and alive than exercising your twenty-twenty vision from inside the fire of hell.
49 "Everyone's going through a refining fire sooner or later,
50 but you'll be well-preserved, protected from the eternal flames. Be preservatives yourselves. Preserve the peace."
