Matthew 5:27-29
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Some Say Do Not Commit Adultery. I Say Do Not Desire Another Woman
27 “You heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit-adultery’. 28 But I say to you that everyone looking-at a woman so-as to desire[a] her already committed-adultery-with her in his heart. 29 And if your right eye is causing you to fall, tear it out[b] and throw it from you. For it is better[c] for you that one of your body-parts perish and your whole body not be thrown into Gehenna.
