29 So if your right eye is causing you to fall, tear it out and throw it away; because it is better for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body be thrown into hell.*This is literal, but mostly theoretical, since by the time people realize they are in trouble it is usually too late; they are already trapped. Perhaps this is why Hebrews 3:13 tells us to "exhort one another daily… lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin". Sometimes others see that we are in trouble before we do.
