Matthew 5:27-29

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.

29Now 4if your right eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, 5than for your whole body to be thrown into 6 7hell.
