Matthew 5:28-39

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. 36Neither shalt thou swearG3660 by thy headG2776, for thou canst not makeG4160 oneG1520 hairG2359 whiteG3022 or blackG3189. 37But let your speechG3056 beG1510, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever isG1510 more than these isG1510 of the evilG4190 oneG3778.

38Ye have heardG191 that it was said, An eyeG3788 for an eyeG3788, and a toothG3599 for a toothG3599: 39but I sayG3004 unto you, ResistG436 not him that is evilG4190: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 to him the otherG243 alsoG2532.
