Matthew 5:27–32
Jesus said to the crowds, "You have
heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that
everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her
in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it
away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body
to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off
and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for
your whole body to go into hell." 'It was also said, "Whoever
divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce." But I say
to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity,
causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits
adultery. "
Reflection
What are the characteristics of my
relationship with others?
Do I have any experience of a relationship
spoiled by sin?
