43 (A)And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to (B)hell,[a] to (C)the unquenchable fire.[b] 45 (D)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 (E)hell. 47 (F)And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into (G)hell, 48 ‘where (H)their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with fire.[c]
