Exegesis
The conditional clause introduced by ei {εἰ | ei} presents a vivid scenario in perikeitai mylos onikós peri ton trachēlon autou kai beblētai eis tēn thálassan {περίκειται μύλος ὀνικός περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ βέβληται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν | períkeitai múlos onikós perí tón tráchēlon autoû kaí béblētai eis tḕn thálassan}, where the present indicative sets the scene of the millstone hanging and the perfect subjunctive implies the consequent casting into the sea. Both translations preserve this escalating warning while adapting structure for clarity in English.
In context — Mark 9:42
And whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a donkey’s millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
