If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, to the unquenchable fire. [[EMPTY]] If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [[EMPTY]] If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out!
