And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Commentary on Matthew 18:9

Theological / Devotional

Enter into life. That is, eternal life.

Eternal fire. See on ch. 5:22. Here Matthew’s narrative omits a section of Jesus’ discourse based on an illustration dealing with “fire” and “salt” (see on Mark 9:49; Matt. 5:13).
