If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, to the fire that shall never be quenched. (...) And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. (...) And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.
