Matthew 5:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Teaching About Adultery. 27 [a]“You have heard that it was said,(A) ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 [b]If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away.(B) It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna.
