Berean Standard Bible
“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.”
Jesus is teaching his disciples about the seriousness of sin and about not causing others to stumble. He uses sharp, deliberately shocking language about cutting off a hand or foot or plucking out an eye.
