Matthew 5:27

MarriageThe law

25 Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29 If 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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
