39 Jesus said, “Don’t stop him. Whoever uses my name to do powerful things will not soon say bad things about me.
40 Whoever is not against us is with us.
41 I can assure you that anyone who helps you by giving you a drink of water because you belong to the Messiah will definitely get a reward.
42 “If one of these little children believes in me, and someone causes that child to sin, it will be very bad for that person. It would be better for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and be drowned in the sea.
43 If your hand makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and have eternal life than to have two hands and go to hell. There the fire never stops.
