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.

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.

But if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members would perish and your whole body would not be thrown into Gehenna.
