Read Matthew 5:28 on Bible Gateway →
“Says He, “I say unto you, that whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
“It is said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” but it is said, also, that whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed that sin.”
“It says, “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” but it means, as Jesus has it, “He that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
“Nay, to use our Savior’s own exposition of it, “He who looketh upon a woman to lust after her, committeth adultery already with her in his heart.”
“But if you have been never so chaste, I am sure you have not been quite guiltless, when the Master says, “He that looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery already with her in his heart.”
