Exegesis
Monophthalmon {μονόφθαλμον | mo-nó-phthal-mon} “one-eyed” functions as a predicate complement governing the infinitive eiselthein {εἰσελθεῖν | ei-sel-theîn} “to enter,” and the prepositional phrase eis ten basileian tou theou {εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ | eis tḕn ba-si-leí-an toû the-oû} identifies the destination.
In context — Mark 9:47
And if your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out; it is good for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye rather than, having two eyes, to be thrown into Gehenna of fire.
