Mark 9:49 PAS GAR PURI ALISQHSETAI.

Is it possible to translate this as:
"For everyone will be salted FOR [the holy sacrifice] fire."

Compare for example:
2 Peter 3:7 OI DE NUN OURANOI KAI H GH TW AUTW LOGW TEQHSAURISMENOI
EISIN PURI

The other (Byz, Western) phrase in Mk reads:
KAI PASA QUSIA ALI ALISQHSETAI
"and every sacrifice with salt will be salted."

With the above translation both phrases mean essentially the same.

Best wishes
    Wieland
