The Sermon On The Mount: Adultery And Lust

27 Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit adultery; 28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 Therefore if thy right eye should bring thee occasion to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
