Jesus Teaches About Sexual Sin^(A)

²⁷ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You ·must [shall] not ·be guilty of [commit] adultery [Ex. 20:14; Deut. 5:18].’ ²⁸ But I tell you that if anyone looks at a woman ·and wants to sin sexually with her [lustfully; ^Lwith a desire for her], in his ·mind [heart] he has already ·done that sin [committed adultery] with her. ²⁹ If your right eye causes you to ·sin [^Lstumble], ·take [tear; gouge] it out and throw it away. [^LFor] It is better to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into ·hell [^LGehenna; v. 22].
