45. If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body but have life forever. That is much better than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.
46. [In hell the worm does not die; the fire is never stopped.]
47. If your eye causes you to sin, take it out. It is better for you to have only one eye but have life forever. That is much better than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell.
48. In hell the worm does not die; the fire is never stopped.
