Matthew 5:21-37 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not commit murder; for whosoever commits murder shall be obnoxious to the judges."

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not commit murder; for whosoever commits murder shall be obnoxious to the judges." ²² But I say to you, whosoever is angry with his brother unjustly, shall be obnoxious to the judges; whosoever shall call him fool, shall be obnoxious to the council; but whosoever shall call him miscreant, shall be obnoxious to hell fire. ²³ Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recollect, that your brother has ground to complain of you; ²⁴ leave there your gift before the altar: first go and procure reconciliation with your brother; then come, and offer your gift. ²⁵ Compound speedily with your creditor, while you are on the road together; lest he deliver you to the judge; and the judge consign you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. ²⁶ Indeed, I say to you, you will not be released, until you have discharged the last farthing. ²⁷ You have heard that it was said, "You shall not commit adultery." ²⁸ But I say to you, whoever looks on another man's wife, in order to cherish impure desire, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ Therefore, if your right eye ensnare you, pluck it out, and throw it away: it is better for you to lose one of your members, than that your whole body be cast into hell. ³⁰ And if your right hand ensnare you, cut it off and throw it away: it is better for you to lose one of your members, than that your whole body be cast into hell. ³¹ It has been said, "Whosoever would dismiss his wife, let him give her a writ of divorce." ³² But I say to you, whosoever shall dismiss his wife, except for whoredom, is the occasion of her becoming an adulteress; and whosoever marries her that is dismissed, commits adultery. ³³ Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not forswear yourself, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord." 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; neither shall you swear by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King; ³⁶ not by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your yes, be Yes; your no, No; for whatever exceeds these, proceeds from evil.
