Matthew 5:28 in Context — Matthew 5

26 Em verdade te digo que não sairás dali enquanto não pagares a última moeda.

27 Ouvistes o que foi dito aos antigos: “Não adulterarás”.

28 Porém eu vos digo que qualquer um que olhar para uma mulher para a cobiçar, em seu coração já adulterou com ela.

29 Se o teu olho direito te faz pecar, arranca-o e lança-o de ti; porque é melhor para ti que um dos teus membros se perca do que o teu corpo todo seja lançado no inferno.

30 E se a tua mão direita te faz pecar, corta-a e lança-a de ti; porque é melhor para ti que um dos teus membros se perca do que o teu corpo todo seja lançado no inferno.
