Matthew 5:27-38
-
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
-
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
-
29 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.
-
30 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.
-
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
-
32 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.
-
33 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:
-
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
-
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
-
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
-
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
-
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
