And if your eye causes your downfall, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, rather than to have two eyes and be thrown into hellfire!

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

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.

Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye?

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a log in your eye?

Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light within you is darkness—how deep is that darkness!

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
