28 But I say to you that 1everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 2If your right eye 3causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into 4hell.
30 5And if your right hand 6causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into 7hell.
