Matthew 18:6-9 - Temptations To Sin

⁶ But whosoever may offend one of these little ones, who believe in me, it is good for him that a millstone may be hanged to his neck, and he may be drowned in the depth of the sea. ⁷ Woe unto the world on account of offensives, for it is necessary that offensives come; but woe unto that man through whom the offense comes! ⁸ If thy hand or thy foot offends thee, cut them off and cast them from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire. ⁹ And if thine eye offend thee, cast it from thee: it is good for thee having one eye entering into life, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of the fire.

⁴² Whosoever may offend one of these little ones who believe in me, rather is it good for him, if a millstone is hung about his neck, and he may be cast into the sea. ⁴³ And if thy hand may offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to go into life maimed, rather than having two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that can not be quenched. ⁴⁴ OMITTED TEXT

⁴⁵ If thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to go into life lame, rather than have two feet to be cast into hell. ⁴⁶ OMITTED TEXT

⁴⁷ If thine eye may offend thee, cast it from thee: it is good for thee entering into the kingdom of God having one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; ⁴⁸ where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁹ For every one shall be salted with fire. ⁵⁰ Salt is good: but if the salt may become savorless, with what will you salt it? Have salt in yourselves, and live in peace with one another.
