Matthew 5:28-30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
28 But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 [a]If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away.(A) It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna.
