Matthew 5:28-42

28but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman 1with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 292If your right eye makes you 3stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you 4to lose one of the parts of your body, 5than for your whole body to be thrown into 67hell. 308If your right hand makes you 9stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you 10to lose one of the parts of your body, 11than for your whole body to go into 1213hell.

31“It was said, ‘14Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’; 3215but I say to you that everyone who 16divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a 17divorced woman commits adultery.

33“Again, 18you have heard that 19the ancients were told, ‘2021You shall not 22make false vows, but shall fulfill your 23vows to the Lord.’ 34But I say to you, 24make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is 25the throne of God, 35or by the earth, for it is the 26footstool of His feet, or 27by Jerusalem, for it is 28the city of the great King. 36Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is 29of 30evil.

38“31You have heard that it was said, ‘32An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but 33whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40If anyone wants to sue you and take your 34shirt, let him have your 35coat also. 41Whoever 36forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 4237Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
