Jika tanganmu atau kakimu menyesatkan engkau, penggallah dan buanglah itu, karena lebih baik bagimu masuk ke dalam hidup dengan tangan kudung atau timpang dari pada dengan utuh kedua tangan dan kedua kakimu dicampakkan ke dalam api kekal.
Sebab itu, jikalau tanganmu atau kakimu mendatangkan kesalahan padamu, keratlah dia, buangkan daripadamu, karena lebih baik engkau masuk ke dalam hidup dengan kudung atau timpang daripada engkau dibuangkan ke dalam api yang kekal dengan bertangan dua atau berkaki dua.

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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 18:8-9. If thy hand, c.] See the notes on Matthew 5:29-30.
