Exegesis
The verse begins with the conditional particle ean {ἐὰν | eán} introducing a third-class conditional clause with the present active subjunctive skandalizei {σκανδαλίζῃ | skan-da-lí-zē} “causes to stumble,” indicating a recurring threat.
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.
