Matthew 5

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

27 Ref `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery;

28 Ref but I -- I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart.

29 Ref `But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna.

27 Ref "You have heard that it was said, {TR adds "to the ancients,"} 'You shall not commit adultery;'

28 Ref but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

29 Ref 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.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

27 Ref You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife:

28 Ref But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

29 Ref And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.
