(25)Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (26)Verily I say to thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. (27)Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt not commit adultery. (28)But I say to you, that every one who looks on a woman, to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (29)And if thy right eye causes thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (30)And if thy right hand causes thee to offend, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (31)And it was said: Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement. (32)But I say to you, that whoever shall put away his wife, save for the cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery; and whoever shall marry her when put away, commits adultery. (33)Again ye heard, that it was said to those of old[5:33]: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths. (34)But I say to you, swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; (35)nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. (36)Nor shalt thou swear by thy head; because thou canst not make one hair white or black. (37)But let your word be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay; for that which is more than these comes of evil. (38)Ye heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. (39)But I say to you, that ye resist not evil; but whoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (40)And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. (41)And whoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two. (42)Give to him that asks of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away. (43)Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt hate thine enemy. (44)But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you; (45)that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. (46)For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the publicans the same? (47)And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye that excels? Do not also the heathen thus? (48)Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect. VI.
