48 “In hell, the worms do not die,
and the fire never goes out.” [a][b]

49 God will put fire on everybody, as people put salt on food.[c] 50 Salt is good. But if your salt is not salty any more, you cannot make it salty again. You should be like good salt and love each other. Do not cause trouble among yourselves.’
