8 a“If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire.
9 And if your eye causes you to sin, 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 into1 hell fire.
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven atheir angels always bsee the face of My Father who is in heaven.
12 a“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?
13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
14 Even so it is not the awill of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Dealing with a Sinning Brother
15 “Moreover aif your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, byou have gained your brother.
16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that a‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’
