Matthew 18:9

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} if{G1487} thine{G4675} eye{G3788} offend{G4624}{(G5719)} thee{G4571}, pluck{G1807} it{G846} out{G1807}{(G5628)}, and{G2532} cast{G906}{(G5628)} it from{G575} thee{G4675}: it is{G2076}{(G5748)} better{G2570} for thee{G4671} to enter{G1525}{(G5629)} into{G1519} life{G2222} with one eye{G3442}, rather than{G2228} having{G2192}{(G5723)} two{G1417} eyes{G3788} to be cast{G906}{(G5683)} into{G1519} hell{G1067} fire{G4442}.
Strong's King James
(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*
[9] And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away! Better to enter eternal life with one eye than keep both eyes and be cast into fiery judgment. No temporary pleasure is worth eternal 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.
Young's Literal Translation
