Matthew 5:21-37 Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill: and every one that killeth, is obnoxious to judgment.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill: and every one that killeth, is obnoxious to judgment. ²² But I say to you, That every one who is angry with his brother rashly, is obnoxious to judgment: and every one that saith to his brother, Raka! is obnoxious to the council and every one that shall say, Fool is obnoxious to hell-fire. ²³ If therefore thou shalt bring thy oblation to the altar, and shalt there remember that thy brother hath any offence against thee, ²⁴ leave there thy oblation before the altar, and go first and be reconciled with thy brother; and then come and present thy oblation. ²⁵ Be at agreement with thy prosecutor, forthwith, and while on the way with him; lest the prosecutor deliver thee up to the judge, and the Judge deliver thee over to the sheriff, and thou fall into the house of prisoners. ²⁶ Verily I say to thee, Thou wilt not come out from there until thou hast paid the last farthing. ²⁷ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery. ²⁸ But I say to you, That whoever gazeth on a woman with concupiscence, at once committeth adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ If therefore thy right eye make thee offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that thy one member perish, than that thy whole body fall into hell. ³⁰ And if thy right hand make thee offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body fall into hell. ³¹ It hath been said, That if a man will put away his wife, he must give her a writing of divorcement. ³² But I say to you, That whoever putteth away his wife, except for the offence of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and he that taketh the divorced woman, committeth adultery. ³³ Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not be false in thy oaths; but thou shalt perform thine oaths to the Lord. ³⁴ But I say to you, Swear not at all: not by heaven, for it is the throne of God: ³⁵ and not by the earth, for it is the footstool under his feet: and likewise not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king. ³⁶ Moreover, thou shalt not swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair in it either black or white. ³⁷ But let your language be, Yes, yes; or No, no; for whatever is beyond these proceedeth from evil.
