← Matthew 5:28 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 5:29 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 5:30 [words of Jesus] →
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.	And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.	And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
