Mark 9:40-48 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

40. For whoever, in my name, will give you a cup of water to drink, because you belong to Christ: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

41. And whoever will have scandalized one of these little ones who believe in me: it would be better for him if a great millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

42. And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life disabled, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire,

43. where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.

44. But if your foot causes you to sin, chop it off: it is better for you to enter into eternal life lame, than having two feet to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire,

45. where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.

46. But if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the Hell of fire,

47. where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.

48. For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.
