Matthew 18:8Matt.18.8

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

KJV

Greek original

Translations

Louis Segond 1910

Si ta main ou ton pied est pour toi une occasion de chute, coupe-les et jette-les loin de toi; mieux vaut pour toi entrer dans la vie boiteux ou manchot, que d'avoir deux pieds ou deux mains et d'être jeté dans le feu éternel.

KJV

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