Matthew · Κατὰ Ματθαῖον

Matthew 5:29

ει δε ο οφθαλμος σου ο δεξιος σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εις γεενναν
ei de o ophthalmos soy o dexios skandalizei se exele ayton kai bale apo soy sympherei gar soi ina apolētai en tōn melōn soy kai mē olon to sōma soy blēthē eis geennan
King James Version (KJV)

And 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. {offend...: or, do cause thee to offend}

Modern English

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
