"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."

                                   -- Book of Matthew 29-30
