Matthew 5:21-37

ABU(i) 21 Ye heard that it was said to those of old: Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment. 22 But I say to you, that every one who is angry with his brother, without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca! shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, Thou fool! shall be in danger of hell-fire. 23 Therefore if thou bringest thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother has aught against thee; 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say to thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 27 Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt not commit adultery. 28 But I say to you, that every one who looks on a woman, to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye causes thee to offend, 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. 30 And if thy right hand causes thee to offend, 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. 31 And it was said: Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement. 32 But I say to you, that whoever shall put away his wife, save for the cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery; and whoever shall marry her when put away, commits adultery. 33 Again ye heard, that it was said to those of old: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths. 34 But I say to you, swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Nor shalt thou swear by thy head; because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your word be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay; for that which is more than these comes of evil.
