If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

Now if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw away from you. It is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire.
