Matthew 5:27-30

27“1You have heard that it was said, ‘2You shall not commit adultery’; 28but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman 3with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 4If your right eye makes you 5stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you 6to lose one of the parts of your body, 7than for your whole body to be thrown into 8 9hell. 30 10If your right hand makes you 11stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you 12to lose one of the parts of your body, 13than for your whole body to go into 14 15hell.
