Follow Me - Lesson 7 - Part 1 - Passage

Return to Lesson

The Sermon on the Mount (continued)

Matthew 5:27-32

You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY'; but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to go into hell. And it was said, 'WHOEVER SENDS HIS WIFE AWAY, LET HIM GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE'; but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

A. If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out, and throw it from you. “Stop envying”. (Desiring what is not yours)

B. If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off, and throw it from you. “Stop stealing”. (Taking what is not yours)
