Matthew 5:29
If your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell
Mark 9:47
And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of heaven with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell
Matthew 18:9
And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter heaven with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell
There was no ascent to heaven, only a deceptively gilded mire within the murk of purgatory. If the key to this place was crafted from eyes, then gouge them out, and cast them away.
So goes the key, so goes the means of opening the door.
And thereby so go we, away from this false temptation.
Back to our ascent up this mountain of purgatory, striving eternally for the gates of heaven.
