This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Teaching about adultery and lust

Mat 5:27–30

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]
