Matthew 18:9Matt.18.9

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

KJV

Greek original

Translations

Louis Segond 1910

Et si ton oeil est pour toi une occasion de chute, arrache-le et jette-le loin de toi; mieux vaut pour toi entrer dans la vie, n'ayant qu'un oeil, que d'avoir deux yeux et d'être jeté dans le feu de la géhenne.

KJV

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