Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away.

These are actually the words of Jesus, preaching along on the side of a mountain. The idea is that we are better off without the eye than continuing to sin and ending up in a hot, burning hell. Of course, there’s still the other eye to mess us up? Then when both of them are gone, we can probably think up a new(blind) way to sin. Nobody thinks Jesus really meant us to do eye plucking—he was making a point, though: whatever it takes to stop the sin, DO IT!
