Matthew 5:30 in Context — Matthew 5

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.

31 Também foi dito: “Qualquer um que se divorciar de sua mulher, dê a ela carta de divórcio.

32 Porém eu vos digo que qualquer um que se divorciar de sua mulher, a menos que seja por causa de pecado sexual, faz com que ela adultere; e qualquer um que se casar com a divorciada comete adultério.
