Old Testament

New Testament

Matthew 5:28-33 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

28. But I tell you that if anyone looks at a woman with lust, he has already committed adultery with her in his mind.

29. If your right eye causes you to sin, then take it out and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell.

30. If your right hand causes you to sin, then cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

31. “It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written divorce paper.’

32. But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife is causing his wife to be guilty of adultery. The only reason for a man to divorce his wife is if she has been unfaithful to him. And anyone who marries that divorced woman is guilty of adultery.

33. “You have heard that it was said to our people long ago, ‘When you make a promise, don’t break your promise. Keep the promises that you make to the Lord.’
