And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. |
If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. |
“And if your right eye makes you stumble (causes you to sin), tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. |

If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. |
If your right eye serves as a trap to ensnare you or is an occasion for you to stumble and sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be cast into hell (Gehenna). |
So then, if your eye, the right one, causes you to stumble, root it out and throw it from you, for it is to your profit that one of your members perish and not that your whole body be thrown into hell. |

“Yes, if your right eye leads you astray pluck it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than that your whole body should be thrown on to the rubbish heap. |
So if your right eye causes you to do wrong, pluck it out of your way; for it is better to have one part of your body suffer loss than to have your whole body go down to the pit (Greek, Gehenna, a valley or pit where refuse is thrown, there the pit of future punishment). |
And 1161 if 1487 thy 4675 right 1188 eye 3788 offend 4624 thee, 4571 pluck it 846 out, 1807 and 2532 cast 906 it from 575 thee: 4675 for 1063 it is profitable 4851 for thee 4671 that 2443 one 1520 of thy 4675 members 3196 should perish, 622 and 2532 not 3361 that thy 4675 whole 3650 body 4983 should be cast 906 into 1519 hell. 1067 |
