| Now if your right eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. | 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. |
| All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things build people up. | All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. |
