Matthew 5:27-32

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.

31“It was said, ‘16Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’; 32 17but I say to you that everyone who 18divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a 19divorced woman commits adultery.
