If your right eye causes you to stumble, 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. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, 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 go into hell.....Mt 5:29-30

“If your right eye causes you to stumble, 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”

“hell” is a mistranslation. The true old testament word was sheol - mistranslated into the Greek as hades (from Greek mythology, not the old testament), and sheol means no more nor less than “the delling place of the dead”, i.e., the grave.
