Matthew 5:26-30

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Matthew 5:26-30

26Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
27You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.
— Matthew 5:26-30
