Mark 9: 38 - 43, 45, 47 - 48

| 38
|
John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
|
| 39
|
But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me.
|
| 40
|
For he that is not against us is for us.
|
| 41
|
For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.
|
| 42
|
"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
|
| 43
|
And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.
|
| 45
|
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.
|
| 47
|
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,
|
| 48
|
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
