Matthew 18:7-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Woe To The World Because of Causes of Falling. Better To Tear Out Your Eye
7 “Woe to the world because of the causes-of-falling. For it is a necessity that causes-of-falling should come; nevertheless, woe to the person through whom the cause-of-falling comes. 8 But if your hand or your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than to be thrown into the eternal fire having two hands or two feet. 9 And if your eye is causing you to fall, tear it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life one-eyed than to be thrown into the Gehenna[a] of fire having two eyes.

New International Version
7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!(A) 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble,(B) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble,(C) gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.(D)
