Too literally ?

It says what it means.

It’s right from the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Are you asking why there is temptation in the world ?

If there was no temptation to sin, we would not need the Holy Spirit to help us overcome temptation to sin.

It would be easy to live a sinless life.

That verse suggests that even being tempted is sinful.

So a woman’s beauty means what then, temporally?

You mean like “Thou Shall not Kill”?

That’s a commandment but, it has extenuations.
