(9) If your eye causes you to stumble, deliver it out and throw from you. It's better for you to enter into zoe-life with one eye than having two eyes cast into fiery Gei-Hinnom.
The F.O.G
And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away! Better to enter everlasting life with one eye than keep both eyes and be cast into fiery judgment. No temporary pleasure is worth everlasting loss.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire.
