Matthew 18:6-9 - Temptations To Sin

⁶ And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones, who believe in me, to stumble, it were better for him that a millstone was hung at his neck, and that he was sunk in the depth of the sea. ⁷ Wo to the world because of offences! for there is a necessity that offences come: nevertheless, wo to that man by whom the offence cometh! ⁸ If then thy hand, or thy foot, lead thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: for it were better for thee to enter into life, halting or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the fire, which is eternal. ⁹ And if thine eye lead thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee, for it were better for thee to enter into life with one eye only, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire.

⁴² And whosoever shall give occasion of offence to one of these little ones who believe in me, it were desirable for him rather that a milestone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea. ⁴³ And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it were better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having both hands to go into hell, into the fire that never will be quenched: ⁴⁴ where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁵ And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched: ⁴⁶ where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁷ And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell: ⁴⁸ where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁹ For every one shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be sprinkled with salt. ⁵⁰ Salt is good: but if the salt become insipid, with what will you season it? have salt in yourselves, and live in peace with each other.
