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

45 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble [And if thy foot offend thee], cut it off; it is better to thee to enter crooked into everlasting life, than have two feet, and be sent into hell of fire, that never shall be quenched, [than having two feet to be sent into hell fire, unquenchable],

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.
