Ministry on This Verse

 Fire is just the application of the holiness of God in judgment. (Mark 9 by J.N. Darby)
 Everyone should be salted with fire—the good and the bad. Where there was life, the fire would only consume the flesh; for when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. If the judgment reaches the wicked (and assuredly it shall reach them), it is condemnation—a fire that is not quenched. (Mark 9 by J.N. Darby)
 Salt is not the gentleness that pleases (which grace produces without doubt), but that energy of God within us which connects everything in us with God and dedicates the heart to Him, binding it to Him in the sense of obligation and of desire, rejecting all in oneself that is contrary to Him. (Mark 9 by J.N. Darby)
 Fire symbolizes the judgment of God, which all must face in one way or another. The believer must face it in the way indicated by 1 Cor. 3:13, and by it he will be “salted,” since it will mean the preserving of all that is good. The ungodly will be subjected to it in their persons, and it will salt them; that is, they will be preserved in it and not destroyed by it. (Mark 9 by F.B. Hole)
 The latter part of the verse is an allusion to Lev. 2:13. Salt has been described as symbolizing that “power of holy grace, which binds the soul to God and inwardly preserves it from evil.” (Mark 9 by F.B. Hole)
 The former statement, in my opinion, being as large toward man as such as the latter emphatically and exclusively regards the saints set apart to God. (Mark 9 by W. Kelly)

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Some witnesses leave out the latter half of verse 49. It is supported by most later MSS. and other versions. The substance of the truth abides, no doubt, but the solemnity of the warning appears to be enfeebled in the curtailed form; and the distinction between the wicked and righteous as tested by God’s judgment.
