Matthew 5:27-30

Listen to Matthew 5:27-30

Lust

27 1“You have heard that it was said, 2‘You shall not commit adultery. ’
28 But I say to you that 3everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 4If your right eye 5causes 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 6hell.
30 7And if your right hand 8causes 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 9hell.
