And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} if{G1487} thy{G4675} right{G1188} hand{G5495} offend{G4624}{(G5719)} thee{G4571}, cut{G1581} it{G846} off{G1581}{(G5657)}, and{G2532} cast{G906}{(G5628)} it from{G575} thee{G4675}: for{G1063} it is profitable{G4851}{(G5719)} for thee{G4671} that{G2443} one{G1520} of thy{G4675} members{G3196} should perish{G622}{(G5643)}, and{G2532} not{G3361} that thy{G4675} whole{G3650} body{G4983} should be cast{G906}{(G5686)} into{G1519} hell{G1067}.

(30) And if your right hand makes you sin, cut it off and throw from you, because its profitable for you that one of your members be lost and not your whole body to go into Gei-Hinnom (hell).
The F.O.G
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. Better to lose one part of your body than have your whole body go into hell. Take radical action against sin."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘And, if thy right hand doth cause thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna.
