Open English Bible (OEB)English
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off, and throw it away. It would be better for you to enter the life maimed or lame, than to have both hands, or both feet, and be thrown into the fire that never goes out.
Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Wenn aber deine Hand oder dein Fuß dich ärgert, so haue ihn ab und wirf ihn von dir. Es ist dir besser, lahm oder als Krüppel in das Leben einzugehen, als mit zwei Händen oder mit zwei Füßen in das ewige Feuer geworfen zu werden.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Por tanto, si tu mano ó tu pie te fuere ocasión de caer, córtalo y échalo de ti: mejor te es entrar cojo ó manco en la vida, que teniendo dos manos ó dos pies ser echado en el fuego eterno.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Portanto, se a tua mão ou o teu pé te conduz ao escândalo, corta-os, e lança-os de ti; melhor te é entrar aleijado ou manco na vida do que, tendo duas mãos ou dois pés, ser lançado no fogo eterno.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Se tua mão ou teu pé te faz tropeçar, corta-o e atira-o longe de ti. É melhor para ti entrares na vida manco ou aleijado, do que seres atirado no fogo eterno tendo as duas mãos ou os dois pés.
