Mark 9:43-48

43 "1If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into 2hell, into the 3unquenchable fire,
44 [ where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.]
45 "If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into 4hell,
46 [ where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.]
47 "5If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into 6hell,
48 7where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND 8THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.
