Matouš 18:8

Nova Smlouva (NT only)

Jestliže tě tvá ruka nebo tvá noha svádí k hříchu, utni ji a odhoď; lépe je pro tebe, abys vešel do života zmrzačený nebo chromý, než abys měl obě ruce nebo obě nohy, a byl uvržen do věčného ohně.

Parallel Translations

Bible kralická (1613)
Protož jestliže ruka tvá anebo noha tvá pohoršuje tě, utniž ji a vrz od sebe. Lépe jest tobě do života vjíti kulhavému anebo bezrukému, nežli dvě ruce aneb dvě noze majícímu uvrženu býti do věčného ohně.

Český ekumenický překlad
Jestliže tě tvá ruka nebo noha svádí k hříchu, utni ji a odhoď pryč; lépe je pro tebe, vejdeš-li do života zmrzačený nebo chromý, než abys byl s oběma rukama či nohama uvržen do věčného ohně.

Nova Bible Kralicka (NT only)
Svádí-li tě tedy tvá ruka nebo noha, usekni ji a zahoď od sebe. Je pro tebe lepší, abys chromý nebo zmrzačený vstoupil do života, než mít obě ruce nebo obě nohy a být uvržen do věčného ohně.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 8, 9. Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot,.... The same words are repeated here on occasion of offences, as are spoken by Christ, Matthew 5:29 on account of unchaste looks, desires and lusts: giving offence to Christ's disciples, or endeavouring, by any means whatever, to cause them to stumble and fall, is equally gratifying the flesh, and no more to be indulged, than the other, on pain of eternal damnation. See Gill "Mt 5:29" See Gill "Mt 5:30"

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

If thy hand ... - See the notes at Matthew 5:29-30. The sense in all these instances is the same. Worldly attachments, friendships, and employments of any kind, that cannot be pursued without leading us into sin, be they ever so dear to us, must be abandoned, or the soul will be lost.

It is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed ... - It is not meant, by this, that when the body shall be raised it will be maimed and disfigured in this manner. It will be perfect. See 1 Corinthians 15:42-44. But these things are said for the purpose of carrying out or making complete the figure or the representation of cutting off the hands, etc. The meaning is, it is better to go to heaven without enjoying the things that caused us to sin, than to enjoy them here and then be lost.

Halt - Lame.

Maimed - With a loss of limbs.

Into hell fire - It is implied, in all this, that if their sins, however dear to them, were not abandoned, the soul must go into everlasting fire. This is conclusive proof that the sufferings of the wicked will be eternal. See the notes at Mark 9:44, Mark 9:46, Mark 9:48.
