To obey is better than sacrifice:
1 Samuel 15:22
But Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings
and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better
than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
Loving-kindness better than life:
Psalms 63:3
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify
you.
Better to enter into maimed:
Matthew 18:8
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it off and
throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to
have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.
Mark 9:43-47
43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better
for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the
fire never goes out.
44
45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is
better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into
hell.
46
47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is
better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes
and be thrown into hell,
Better for him than a millstone:
Matthew 18:16
But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so
that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
Mark 9:42
“And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in
me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large
millstone tied around his neck.
