Matthew 5:21-37

JuliaSmith(i) 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. 29 And if thine eye give thee cause of offence, take it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members be destroyed, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand give thee cause of offence, cut it off, and cast from thee; for it is profitable to thee, that one of thy members should be destroyed; and not thy whole body should be cast into hell. 31 And it was said, That whosoever should loose his wife, let him give her a repudiation. 32 But I say to you, That whosoever shall let go his wife except for the reason of adultery, makes her to commit adultery; and whosoever should marry her having been loosed, commits adultery. 33 Again, ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear a false oath, and thou shalt. return to the Lord thine oaths. 34 But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, it is the throne of God: 35 Neither by the earth; for it is the footstool of his feet: neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great kings 36 Neither shouldst thou swear by thy head, for thou cant not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your word be Yea, yea, and No, no: but that above this is of evil.
