Walks and Words of Jesus: A Paragraph Harmony of the Four Evangelists
Bible. Gospels -- Harmonies, English
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the
least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and
teach _them_, the same shall be called great in the kingdom
of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed _the righteousness_ of the scribes and Pharisees,
ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his
brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:
and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in
danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool,
shall be in danger of hell fire.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave
there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be
reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whilst thou art in the way
with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the
judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be
cast into prison. Verily, I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no
means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost
farthing.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not commit adultery: but I say unto you, That whosoever
looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery
with her already in his heart. 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. 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.
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him
give her a writing of divorcement: 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.
