Matthew 18:8-9; DRB;
8 And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
Luke 6:29; DRB;
29 And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
Is Jesus trying to say that the problem is in us, we are the problem, it's our sinningsinful nature?
And He asks us to be serious and take the way to overcome our sinful nature?
