Matthew5:29

Translation

And if your right eye causes you to be entrapped, take it out and throw it away; indeed it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed

and not all your body be cast

into hell.

Paraphrase

And if your dominant eye causes you to be enticed into sin, tear it out and throw it far away from you; it is definitely better for you if only one of the parts of your body is destroyed and not all of your body is destroyed and thrown into hell.

Footnotes

1

Although the word “destroyed” is not used a second time in the verse it is implied. Just as the eye is destroyed, the whole body would have been destroyed if you had not taken drastic measures.

2: “throw or cast”

This word is indeed used twice. Just like the eye must be cast from you, your who body would be cast into hell if drastic measures were not taken.
