Matthew 5:27-32

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Matthew 5:27-32

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.
31It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
— Matthew 5:27-32
