Matthew 5:21-37

Bishops(i) 21 Ye haue hearde, that it was sayde to them of the olde tyme, thou shalt not kyll: who so euer kylleth, shalbe in daunger of iudgement 22 But I say vnto you, that who so euer is angry with his brother, vnaduisedly, shalbe in daunger of iudgement. And who so euer shall say vnto his brother, racha, shalbe in daunger of a councell: But, whosoeuer shall saye (thou) foole, shalbe in daunger of hell fire 23 Therfore, if thou bring thy gyft to the aulter, and there remembrest, that thy brother hath ought agaynst thee 24 Leaue there thy gyft, before the aulter, and go thy way, first and be reconciled to thy brother: and then, come and offer thy gyft 25 Agree with thyne aduersarie quicklye, whyles thou art in the waye with him: lest at any tyme the aduersarie deliuer thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the minister, and then thou be cast into pryson 26 Ueryly I say vnto thee, thou shalt not come out thence, tyll thou hast payde the vtmost farthyng 27 Ye haue hearde, that it was sayde vnto them of olde tyme: Thou shalt not commit adultry 28 But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer loketh on a woman, to luste after her, hath committed adultry with her alredy, in his heart 29 If thy ryght eye offende thee, plucke it out, and cast it from thee. For better it is vnto thee, that one of thy members perishe, the that thy whole body should be cast into hell 30 And yf thy ryght hande offende thee, cut it of, and cast it from thee. For better it is vnto thee, that one of thy members perishe, then that all thy body shoulde be cast into hell 31 It is saide: whosoeuer putteth away his wyfe, let hym geue her a wrytyng of diuorcement 32 But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer doeth put awaye his wyfe, except it be for fornication, causeth her to commit adultry. And whosoeuer maryeth her that is diuorced, committeth adultry 33 Agayne, ye haue hearde that it was sayde vnto them of olde tyme: Thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt perfourme vnto the Lorde thine othes 34 But, I say vnto you: Sweare not at all, neither by heauen, for it is gods seate 35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footestoole, neither by Hierusalem, for it is the citie of the great kyng 36 Neither shalt thou sweare by thy head, because thou canst not make one heere whyte or blacke 37 But let your communication be yea, yea, nay nay. For whatsoeuer is more then these, commeth of euyll
