28 But I say to you that everyone looking-at a woman so-as to desire[a] her already committed-adultery-with her in his heart. 29 And if your right eye is causing you to fall, tear it out[b] and throw it from you. For it is better[c] for you that one of your body-parts perish and your whole body not be thrown into Gehenna. 30 And if your right hand is causing you to fall, cut it off and throw it from you. For it is better for you that one of your body-parts perish and your whole body not go into Gehenna.
