Teaching about adultery and lust

Mat 5:27–30

5:27 Teaching about adultery and lust

27 “You all know that the scriptures say not to commit adultery,[ref] 28 but I’m telling you that if you look at a woman lustfully then you’ve already committed adultery in your mind. 29 If your right eye is causing you to stumble, then pluck it out and throw it away,[ref] 30 and if your right hand is causing you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away, because it’s better for you that one of your body parts would be taken than for your whole body to end up in the judgement fire.[ref]

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.
