(A)Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foot cause thee to [a]offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, than having two hands, or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.

And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

10 [b]See that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in heaven their (B)Angels always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.(C)
