Matthew 18:8-9

8 "So if your hand or foot becomes a snare for you, cut it off and throw it away! Better that you should be maimed or crippled and obtain eternal life than keep both hands or both feet and be thrown into everlasting fire!
9 And if your eye is a snare for you, gouge it out and fling it away! Better that you should be oneeyed and obtain eternal life than keep both eyes and be thrown into the fire of Gei Hinnom.

Matthew 5:38-42

38 "You have heard that our fathers were told, `Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.'
39 But I tell you not to stand up against someone who does you wrong. On the contrary, if someone hits you on the right cheek, let him hit you on the left cheek too!
40 If someone wants to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well!
41 And if a soldier forces you to carry his pack for one mile, carry it for two!
42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something from you, lend it to him.
