MNT(i)
21 "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "Thou shall not commit murder, and "He who commits murder shall be liable to condemnation by the court;
22 but I say to you that he who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to condemnation by the court; and he who says to his brother 'Raca,' shall be liable to condemnation by the Sanhedrin, while he who curses his brother shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire.
23 "If therefore when you are offering your gift upon the altar, and there remember that your brother has a grievance against you,
24 "leave there your gift before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother, first of all; then come and offer your gift.
25 "Come to terms with your opponent quickly, while you are yet with him on the way [to the court], to prevent your opponent from handing you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and so you be thrown into prison.
26 "I tell you truly that you would certainly not get out from there until you had paid back the last cent.
27 "You have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 But I say to you that whoever looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 And if your eye, your right eye, entices you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.
30 And if your right hand entices you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.
31 "It was also said, "Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of separation.
32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress, and whoever marries her when so divorced, commits adultery.
33 "Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, "You must not forswear yourselves, but must perform your vows to the Lord.
34 "But I say to you, swear not at all; neither by the sky, for it is God's throne;
35 "nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
36 "Nor must you swear by your head, since you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 "But let your word be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the Evil One.
