Matthew 5:29 Context
27¶ Yee haue heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adulterie. 28But I say vnto you, That whosoeuer looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adulterie with her already in his heart. 29And if thy right eie offend thee, plucke it out, and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 31It hath beene said, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, let him giue her a writing of diuorcement.
