Bible. Matthew
40:005:026 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out
thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
40:005:027 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not commit adultery:
40:005:028 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with her already in his
heart.
40:005:029 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be
cast into hell.
40:005:030 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be
cast into hell.
40:005:031 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him
give her a writing of divorcement:
40:005:032 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit
adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced
committeth adultery.
40:005:033 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old
time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto
the Lord thine oaths:
40:005:034 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for
it is God's throne:
40:005:035 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
40:005:036 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
make one hair white or black.
40:005:037 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for
whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
40:005:038 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth:
40:005:039 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other
also.
40:005:040 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy
coat, let him have thy cloak also.
40:005:041 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain.
40:005:042 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow
of thee turn not thou away.
40:005:043 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
40:005:044 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you;
40:005:045 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
