Mark 9:50

48 where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

49 For everyone will be salted with fire.

Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
