The scriptures below are from the WEB Bible.

Matthew 5:27-30
27) "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;‘
28) but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29) If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
30) If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna.


Psalm 37:4
4) Also delight yourself in Yahweh, And he will give you the desires of your heart.


John 8:2-11
2) At dawn, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.
3) The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,
4) they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5) Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?"
6) They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger, as if he didn‘t hear.
7) But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
8) Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9) They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the midst.
10) Jesus lifted himself up, and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
11) She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."


Romans 7:1-25
1) Or don‘t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
2) For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
3) So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4) Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.
5) For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.
6) But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7) What will we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! However, I wouldn‘t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn‘t have known coveting, unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."
8) But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9) I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10) The commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death;
11) for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12) So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13) Did then that which is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
14) For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15) For I don‘t know what I am doing. For I don‘t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16) But if what I don‘t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
17) So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18) For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don‘t find it doing that which is good.
19) For the good which I desire, I don‘t do; but the evil which I don‘t desire, that I practice.
20) But if what I don‘t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21) I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22) For I delight in God‘s law after the inward man,
23) but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24) What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25) I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.


1 Peter 2:24
24) who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.


Romans 8:37
37) No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.


Mark 7:21-22
21) For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22) covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
