A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek: Humbly Attempted with a View to Assist the Unlearned with Clearer and More Explicit Views of the Mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures of Truth
Haweis, Thomas
Bible. New Testament
(21)Ye have heard that it was said to the men of antient times, "Thou
shalt do no murder;" and whosoever shall commit murder, shall be liable
to the judgment: (22)but I say unto you, That every man who is angry
with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the
sanhedrim: but whosever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to be
cast into hell fire. (23)If therefore thou bring thy gift to the altar,
and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
(24)leave there thy gift before the altar, and go: first be reconciled
to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (25)Be disposed to
agree with thy prosecutor speedily, whilst thou art in the way with him
_to the bar_; lest the prosecutor deliver thee up to the judge, and the
judge commit thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
(26)Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out from thence,
till thou hast paid the last farthing.
(27)Ye have heard that it was said to those of old, "Thou shalt not
commit adultery:" (28)but I say unto you, That every one who looketh
upon a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with
her in his heart. (29)If then thine eye, the right, leads thee to
offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is highly for thy
advantage, that one of thy members be destroyed, and not that thy whole
body should be cast into hell. (30)And if thy right hand leads thee to
offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is highly thy
interest that one of thy members should be destroyed, and not that thy
whole body should be cast into hell.
(31)It hath been said indeed, That whosoever will put away his wife,
let him give her a bill of divorce: (32)But I say unto you, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except on account of whoredom, causeth her to
commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is put away,
committeth adultery.
(33)Again ye have heard that it was said to those of old, "Thou shalt
not perjure thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths:"
(34)But I say to thee, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven; for it
is the throne of God: (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)neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one
hair white or black. (37)But let your discourse be, Yea, yea; No, no:
for all addition to these is from the wicked one.
(38)Ye have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth:"
(39)but I say unto you, Resist not an injurious act; but whosoever
shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other.
(40)And if a man will prosecute thee, and take thy coat, let him have
thy cloak also. (41)And whosoever shall press thee for one mile, go
with him two. (42)Give to him that asketh thee; and from him who wants
to borrow of thee, turn not away.
