Mark 9:43-50 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          43If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.
          45If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.
          47And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,
          48where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

⁴⁹For everyone will be salted with fire.

⁵⁰Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
