Matthew 5:28-39
28ButG1161 IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 anyoneG3956 who looks atG991 a womanG1135 toG4314 lust afterG1937 herG846 has alreadyG2235 committed adultery withG3431 herG846 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588. 29IfG1487 yourG4771 rightG1188 eyeG3788 causes you to sinG4624G4771, gouge it outG1807G846 andG2532 throwG906 it awayG575G4771. It is betterG4851 for youG4771 toG2443 loseG622 oneG1520 part of your bodyG3588G4771G3196 than for yourG4771 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to be thrownG906 intoG1519 hellG1067.1 30AndG2532 ifG1487 yourG4771 rightG1188 handG5495 causes you to sinG4624G4771, cut it offG1581G846 andG2532 throwG906 it awayG575G4771. It is betterG4851 for youG4771 toG2443 loseG622 oneG1520 part of your bodyG3588G4771G3196 than for yourG4771 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to departG565 intoG1519 hellG1067.
31It has also been saidG2046G1161, ‘WhoeverG3739G302 divorcesG630 hisG846 wifeG1135 must giveG1325 herG846 a certificate of divorceG647.’2 32ButG1161 IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 anyoneG3956 who divorcesG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, exceptG3924 forG3056 sexual immoralityG4202, bringsG4160 adulteryG3431 upon herG846.3 AndG2532 he whoG3739G1437 marriesG1060 a divorced womanG630 commits adulteryG3429.
33AgainG3825, you have heardG191 thatG3754 it was saidG2046 to theG3588 ancientsG744, ‘Do not break your oathG1964G3756, butG1161 fulfillG591 yourG4771 vowsG3727 to theG3588 LordG2962.’4 34ButG1161 IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771 notG3361 to swearG3660 at allG3654: either byG1722 heavenG3772, forG3754 it isG1510 God’sG2316 throneG2362; 35or byG1722 theG3588 earthG1093, forG3754 it isG1510 His footstoolG5286G3588G846G4228; or byG1519 JerusalemG2414, forG3754 it isG1510 the cityG4172 of theG3588 greatG3173 KingG935. 36NorG3383 should you swearG3660 byG1722 yourG4771 headG2776, forG3754 you cannotG1410G3756 makeG4160 a singleG1520 hairG2359 whiteG3022 orG2228 blackG3189. 37SimplyG1161 letG1510 yourG4771 ‘YesG3483’ be ‘YesG3483,’ and your ‘NoG3756,’ ‘NoG3756.’ AnythingG3588G1161 moreG4053G3778 comesG1510 fromG1537 theG3588 evilG4190 one.5
38You have heardG191 thatG3754 it was saidG2046, ‘EyeG3788 forG473 eyeG3788 andG2532 toothG3599 forG473 toothG3599.’6 39ButG1161 IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771 notG3361 to resistG436 anG3588 evilG4190 person. If someoneG3748 slapsG4474 youG4771 onG1519 yourG4771 rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 to himG846 theG3588 otherG243 alsoG2532;
