“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled on by men.

If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell!

Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Anyone finding his life will lose it, and anyone losing his life because of Me will find it.

And whoever gives just a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple—I assure you: He will never lose his reward!”

He replied, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will find it.

[For the Son of Man has come to save the lost.]
