Matthew 5:22-35

22but I sayG3004 unto you, that every oneG3739 who isG1510 angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall beG1510 in danger of the judgmentG2920; and whosoever shall sayG3004 to his brotherG80, Raca, shall beG1510 in danger of the councilG4892; and whosoever shall sayG3004, Thou fool, shall beG1510 in danger of the hellG1067 of fireG4442. 23If thereforeG3767 thou art offering thy giftG1435 at the altarG2379, and there rememberest that thy brotherG80 hath aught against thee, 24leaveG863 there thy giftG1435 before the altarG2379, and goG5217 thy way, firstG4413 be reconciled to thy brotherG80, and then comeG2064 and offerG4374 thy giftG1435. 25Agree with thine adversaryG476 quicklyG5035, while thou art with him in the wayG3598; lest haply the adversaryG476 deliverG3860 thee to the judgeG2923, and the judgeG2923 deliverG3860 thee to the officerG5257, and thou beG1510 castG906 into prisonG5438. 26Verily I sayG3004 unto thee, Thou shalt by no means comeG1831 out thence, till thou have paidG591 the lastG2078 farthing.

27Ye have heardG191 that it was said, Thou shalt not commitG3431 adulteryG3431: 28but I sayG3004 unto you, that every one that looketh on a womanG1135 to lust after her hath committedG3431 adulteryG3431 with her alreadyG2235 in his heartG2588. 29And if thy rightG1188 eyeG3788 causeth thee to stumbleG4624, pluck it out, and castG906 it from thee: for it is profitableG4851 for thee that oneG1520 of thy membersG3196 should perishG622, and not thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 be castG906 into hellG1067. 30And if thy rightG1188 handG5495 causeth thee to stumbleG4624, cutG1581 it off, and castG906 it from thee: for it is profitableG4851 for thee that oneG1520 of thy membersG3196 should perishG622, and not thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 goG565 into hellG1067. 31It was said alsoG1161, Whosoever shall put awayG630 his wifeG1135, let him giveG1325 her a writing of divorcement: 32but I sayG3004 unto you, that every oneG3739 that putteth awayG630 his wifeG1135, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marryG1060 her when she is put awayG630 committeth adulteryG3431.

33AgainG3825, ye have heardG191 that it was said to them of oldG744 time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the LordG2962 thine oathsG3727: 34but I sayG3004 unto you, SwearG3660 not at all; neither by the heavenG3772, for it isG1510 the throneG2362 of GodG2316; 35nor by the earthG1093, for it isG1510 the footstoolG5286 of his feetG4228; nor by JerusalemG2414, for it isG1510 the cityG4172 of the greatG3173 KingG935.
