SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:8
Por tanto, si tu mano o tu pie te fuere ocasin de caer, crtalos y echalos de ti; mejor te es entrar cojo o manco a la vida, que teniendo dos manos o dos pies ser echado al fuego eterno.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 18:8
Verse 8. - 9. If thy hand, &c.] See the notes on chap. v. 29, 30.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-14 - Considering the cunning and malice of Satan, and the weakness an depravity of men's hearts, it is not possible but that there should be offences. God permits them for wise and holy ends, that those who ar sincere, and those who are not, may be made known. Being told before that there will be seducers, tempters, persecutors, and bad examples let us stand on our guard. We must, as far as lawfully we may, par with what we cannot keep without being entangled by it in sin. The outward occasions of sin must be avoided. If we live after the flesh we must die. If we, through the Spirit, mortify the deeds of the body we shall live. Christ came into the world to save souls, and he wil reckon severely with those who hinder the progress of others who ar setting their faces heavenward. And shall any of us refuse attention to those whom the Son of God came to seek and to save? A father takes car of all his children, but is particularly tender of the little ones.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
18:8 In verses #8 and #9 we have one of the dualities or doublets in Matthew (#5:29-30). Jesus repeated his pungent sayings many times. Instead of eis geennan (#5:29) we have eis to pur to aiwnion and at the end of verse #9 tou puros is added to tn geennan. this is the first use in Matthew of aiwnios. We have it again in #19:16,29 with zo, in #25:41 with pur, in #25:46 with kolasin and zon. The word means ageless, without beginning or end as of God (#Ro 16:26), without beginning as in #Ro 16:25, without end as here and often. The effort to make it mean "aeonian" fire will make it mean "aeonian" life also. If the punishment is limited, _ipso facto_ the life is shortened. In verse #9 also monophthalmon occurs. It is an Ionic compound in Herodotus that is condemned by the Atticists, but it is revived in the vernacular _Koin_. Literally one-eyed. Here only and #Mr 9:47 in the New Testament.
