Matthew 5:27-30 - The Sermon On The Mount: Adultery And Lust

27 You have heard it was said, 'You should not commit adultery.' 28 However, I tell you that whoever looks at a woman with lustful thoughts commits adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is better to lose a part of your body then to have your whole body destroyed in the ever-burning fires of the Valley of Hinnom. 30 If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose part of your body, than for your whole body to be destroyed in the ever-burning fire. (Figuratively: lose prospect for everlasting life; ever-burning fire means total destruction.)
