into hell, into the fire that is
unquenchable; (44)where their worm dies not, and the fire is not
quenched. (45)And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off. It is
better for thee to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to
be cast into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable; (46)where their
worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. (47)And if thine eye
cause thee to offend, pluck it out. It is better for thee to enter
into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast
into hell-fire; (48)where their worm dies not, and the fire is not
quenched. (49)For every one shall be salted with fire, and every
sacrifice shall be salted with salt. (50)Salt is good; but if the salt
become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves,
and be at peace with one another.

that they are no longer two, but one flesh. (9)What therefore God
joined together, let not man put asunder.
(10)And in the house his disciples asked him again concerning this.
(11)And he says to them: Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry
another, commits adultery against her. (12)And if a woman shall put
away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery.
(13)And they brought little children to him, that he might touch them;
and the disciples rebuked those who brought them. (14)But Jesus seeing
it, was much displeased, and said to them: Suffer the little children
to come to me; forbid them not, for to such belongs the kingdom of
God. (15)Verily I say to you, whoever shall not receive the kingdom of
God as a little child, shall not enter therein. (16)And he folded them
