CHRIST’ EXPOSITION OF THE LAW

SERMON ON THE MOUNT

PART II ADULTERY

 

Matthew 5:27-30 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old

time, Thou shalt not commit adultery

28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust

after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

29And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it

from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members

should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast

into hell. 30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if

off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that

one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should

be cast into hell.
