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. 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. 30And 8if your right hand is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you 9to lose one of the parts of your body, 10than for your whole body to go into 11 12hell.

31“Now it was said, ‘13Whoever sends his wife away is to give her a certificate of divorce’; 32 14but I say to you that everyone who 15divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a 16divorced woman commits adultery.
