Matthew 5:27-32

Listen to Matthew 5:27-32

Adultery in the Heart

27 "You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery. [a]
28 But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 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.
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell!

Divorce Practices Censured

31 "It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce. [b]
32 But I tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality, [c] = fornication, or possibly a violation of Jewish marriage laws causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
