Matthew 5:30
Douay-Rheims
And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
The right hand is taken for what is especially useful and necessary. Every worldly advantage must be sacrificed rather than expose oneself to sin.
