5:27 Teaching about adultery and lust

27 [ref]“You all know that the scriptures say not to commit adultery, 28 but I’m telling you that if you look at a woman lustfully then you’ve already committed adultery in your mind. 29 [ref]If your right eye is causing you to stumble, then pluck it out and throw it away 30 [ref]

5:27: Exo 20:14; Deu 5:18.

5:29: Mat 18:9; Mrk 9:47.

5:30: Mat 18:8; Mrk 9:43.

27 You _all _heard that it _was _said:
You will_ not _be _committing _adultery.
28 But I am _saying to _you _all that everyone which looking at_a_woman in _order that to _lust for _her, already committed _adultery with _her in the heart of _him.
29 And if the the right eye of _you is _stumbling you, pluck_ it _out and throw it from you, because/for it _is _benefitting for _you that one of _the members of _you may _perish, and not all the body of _you may _be _thrown into geenna.
30 And if the right hand of _you is _stumbling you, cut _off it and throw it from you, because/for it _is _benefitting for _you that one of _the members of _you may _perish, and not all the body of _you may _go _away into geenna.
