Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

The light of the body is the eye. If therefore thine eye is sound, thy whole body will be bright.

And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not notice the beam in thine own eye?

Or how will thou say to thy brother, Let me take out the speck from thine eye, and behold, the beam in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck from thy brother's eye.

And if thine eye causes thee to stumble, remove it and cast it from thee. It is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.

And if thy right eye causes thee to stumble, remove it and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

But if thine eye is bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Is it not permitted for me to do what I want with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
