Matthew 5:27-32
New International Version - UK
Adultery
27 ‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery.”[a] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Divorce
31 ‘It has been said, “Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.”[b] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Amplified Bible
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’;(A) 28 but I say to you that everyone who [so much as] looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye makes you stumble and leads you to sin, tear it out and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 If your right hand makes you stumble and leads you to sin, cut it off and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
31 “It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife is to give her a certificate of divorce’; 32 but I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on grounds of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who has been divorced commits adultery.(B)

Matthieu 5:27-32
La Bible du Semeur
(Mt 18.8-9 ; Mc 9.43, 47-48)
27 Vous avez appris qu’il a été dit : Tu ne commettras pas d’adultère[a]. 28 Eh bien, moi je vous dis : Si quelqu’un jette sur une femme un regard chargé de désir, il a déjà commis adultère avec elle dans son cœur. 29 Par conséquent, si ton œil droit te fait tomber dans le péché, arrache-le et jette-le au loin, car il vaut mieux pour toi perdre un de tes organes que de voir ton corps entier précipité en enfer. 30 Si ta main droite cause ta chute, coupe-la et jette-la au loin. Il vaut mieux pour toi perdre un de tes membres que de voir tout ton corps jeté en enfer.
(Mt 19.7-9 ; Mc 10.11-12 ; Lc 16.18)
31 Il a aussi été dit : Si quelqu’un divorce d’avec sa femme, il doit le lui signifier par une déclaration écrite[b]. 32 Eh bien, moi, je vous dis : Celui qui divorce d’avec sa femme – sauf en cas d’immoralité sexuelle – l’expose à devenir adultère[c], et celui qui épouse une femme divorcée commet lui-même un adultère.
