Hell » Avoiding hell
And if your eye, your right eye, entices you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit. And if your right hand entices you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.
"Woe unto the world because of such stumbling-blocks! They will surely come, but woe unto each man by whom they come! "If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, than to keep both hands or both feet and be cast into the everlasting burning. "If your eye keeps causing you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with only one eye, than to keep both eyes and be cast into the Gehenna of fire.
"If your hand cause you to stumble, cut it off! It is better to be maimed and to enter into life than to have two hands and go away into hell, into the fire that cannot be put out. OMITTED TEXT.

Then they came to Capernaum; and when he got into the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the road?" But they were silent, for on the road they were disputing together which one was greatest.

Then Jesus took a little child, set it among them, and folding it in his arms, he said, "Whoever in my name receives one such little child, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me, but Him who sent me." "Master," said John, "we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he did not follow us." "Do not try to stop him," Jesus answered, "for there is no one who performs a miracle in my name who can soon speak evil of me. He who is not against us is for us. For whoever gives you even a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, in solemn truth I tell you, that he shall certainly not lose his reward. "And if any one shall cause one of these little ones who believe on me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown out into the sea with a great millstone about his neck.

Then have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side; then he said to them.
