Verse
Matthew - ch 5 v 21 - 40
- Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; but whosoever shall kill shall be subject to the judgment.
- But I say unto you, that every one that is lightly angry with his brother shall be subject to the judgment; but whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be subject to be called before the sanhedrim; but whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be subject to the penalty of the hell of fire.
- If therefore thou shouldest offer thy gift at the altar, and there shouldest remember that thy brother has something against thee,
- leave there thy gift before the altar, and first go, be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
- Make friends with thine adverse party quickly, whilst thou art in the way with him; lest some time the adverse party deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
- Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence till thou hast paid the last farthing.
- Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
- But I say unto you, that every one who looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- But if thy right eye be a snare to thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.
- And if thy right hand be a snare to thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.
- It has been said too, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a letter of divorce.
- But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whosoever marries one that is put away commits adultery.
- Again, ye have heard that it has been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt render to the Lord what thou hast sworn.
- But I say unto you, Do not swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God;
- nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
- Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
- But let your word be Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but what is more than these is from evil.
- Ye have heard that it has been said, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.
- But I say unto you, not to resist evil; but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;
- and to him that would go to law with thee and take thy body coat, leave him thy cloak also.
