Dire Warnings — Mark 9:38-50, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

Mark, Chapter 9, verses 38-50

³⁸ John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” ³⁹ But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. ⁴⁰ For he who is not against us is^xfor us. ⁴¹ For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink^ybecause of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.

⁴² “Whoever causes one of these^zlittle ones who believe to stumble, it^aawould be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he^abhad been cast into the sea. ⁴³ If 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^achell, into the unquenchable fire, ⁴⁴ [^adwhere 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^aehell, ⁴⁶ [^afwhere THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.] ⁴⁷ If 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^aghell, ⁴⁸ where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.

⁴⁹ “For everyone will be salted with fire. ⁵⁰ Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you^ahmake it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
