Matthew 5:30-43
-
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:
-
39 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 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
-
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
-
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
-
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
