Matthew 5:29

29 So if your right ^aeye stumbles you, ¹pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be cast into ^2bGehenna.

29¹ The emphasis of the new law of the kingdom in this verse and in v. 30 indicates the seriousness of sin in relation to the kingdom of the heavens and the need to put away the motive of sin at any cost. The actions described in these verses were not meant to be carried out literally; they can be carried out only spiritually, as revealed in Rom. 8:13 and Col. 3:5.
