1. [1]
   Matthew 5:28-32

   But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 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. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, 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. …

   Romans 13:13

   Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
