Mark 9:43

English Standard Version

43-44 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell,[1] to the unquenchable fire.[2] (Mt 3:12; Mt 5:22; Mt 5:29; Mt 5:30; Mt 18:8; Mt 25:41; Mr 9:48) 

New International Version

43-44 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.[1] 

New International Reader’s Version

43-44 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter God’s kingdom with only one hand than to go into hell with two hands. In hell the fire never goes out. 

King James Version

44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
