Matthew 5:17-28

JuliaSmith(i) 17 Think not that I have come to abolish the law, or the prophets: for I have come not abolish, but to complete. 18 For verily I say to you, Till heaven pass away, and earth, one iota, or one mark, should not pass away from the law, till all should be 19 Whoever therefore, should loose one of the least of these commands, and so teach men, he shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whoever should do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. 20 For I say to you, That except your justice abound more than the scribes and Pharisees, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens. 21 Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill: and whoever should kill shall be subject to judgment: 22 But I say to you, That every one becoming angry with his brother, shall be subject to judgment: and whoever should say to his brother, Raca, should be, subject to the council: and whoever should say, O foolish, shall be subject to a hell of fire. 23 If therefore, thou bring thy gift upon the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother has anything against thee, 24 Let go there thy gift, before the altar, and retire; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then, having come, bring thy gift. 25 Be kindly disposed to thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, lest thy opponent should deliver thee to the judge, and the judge should deliver thee to the assistant, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say to thee, Thou shouldst not come out thence, even till, thou shouldst give back the last fourth. 27 Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say to you, That every one seeing a woman, to eagerly desire her, has already committed adultery with her, in his heart.
