If

If your hand or your foot causes your downfall, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.

And if your hand causes your downfall, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and go to hell—the unquenchable fire,

Pluck

For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, there are eunuchs who were made by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way because of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

For we know that our old self

was crucified with Him in order that sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin,

for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Therefore, put to death what belongs to your worldly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, equip yourselves also with the same resolve—because the one who suffered in the flesh has finished with sin—

For

Keep your way far from her.
Don’t go near the door of her house.

For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his life?

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it.
