Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
Ver. 8. If thy hand or foot offend thee, &c.] Matthew 5:29,30, our Saviour forbids all his to defile themselves with the filth of sin; here, to offend others thereby. See Trapp on " Mat 5:29 " See Trapp on " Mat 5:30 "
