If hand, foot, or eye causes sin, cut it off
Here’s what it means
Jesus demands ruthless removal of whatever leads a person into sin because judgment is more terrible than costly self-denial.
Why the Bible says it this way
The writer deliberately uses very strong language to make an important point. The point is serious even though the wording is not meant literally.
A helpful detail: The warning must be taken with full seriousness. Because sin arises from the heart and bodily mutilation does not cure it, many interpreters see forceful extreme wording; the workbook flags the classification rather than using it to weaken the command.
