eng: If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

eng: Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

acr: »We cꞌo junok cucoj amac y catucꞌam bi pa kꞌatbal tzij, nabe chaꞌana pan utzil chomal rucꞌ pa be chaꞌ jelaꞌ na catuꞌyaꞌa ta chi pukꞌab raj kꞌatal tzij. Ma we na xaꞌan ta riꞌ, raj kꞌatal tzij catuya bi pukꞌab ri ausiliar chaꞌ catuꞌyaꞌa pa cárcel.
