And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 9:43

Trivia: In Mark 7, what commandment did Jesus criticize the Pharisees for not obeying?
