Matthew 5:19-30

19WhoeverG3739G1437 thenG3767 annulsG3089 oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG3778 commandmentsG1785, and teachesG1321 1othersG444 to do the sameG3779, shall be calledG2564 leastG1646 2in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; but whoeverG3739G302 3keepsG4160 and teachesG1321 them, he shall be calledG2564 greatG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.

20“For I sayG3004 to you that unlessG1437G3361 your 4righteousnessG1343 surpassesG4052 that of the scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, you will not enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.

21“5You have heardG191 that 6the ancientsG744 were toldG3004, ‘7You shall not commitG5407 murderG5407’ and ‘WhoeverG3739G302 commitsG5407 murderG5407 shall be 8liableG1777 to 9the courtG2920.’ 22But I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who is angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall be 10guiltyG1777 before 11the courtG2920; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004 to his brotherG80, ‘12You good-for-nothingG4469,’ shall be 13guiltyG1777 before 1415the supremeG4892 courtG4892; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004, ‘You foolG3474,’ shall be 16guiltyG1777 enough to go into the 1718fieryG4442 hellG1067. 23ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 you are 19presentingG4374 your 20offeringG1435 at the altarG2379, and thereG2546 rememberG3403 that your brotherG80 hasG2192 somethingG5100 againstG2596 you, 24leaveG863 your 21offeringG1435 thereG1563 beforeG1715 the altarG2379 and goG5217; firstG4413 be 22reconciledG1259 to your brotherG80, and thenG5119 comeG2064 and presentG4374 your 23offeringG1435. 2524MakeG2132 friendsG2132 quicklyG5035 with your opponentG476 at lawG476 whileG2193 you are with him on the wayG3598, soG3379 that your opponentG476 may not handG3860 you over to the judgeG2923, and the judgeG2923 to the officerG5257, and you be thrownG906 into prisonG5438. 26TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 25you will not comeG1831 out of thereG1564 untilG2193 you have paidG591 up the lastG2078 26centG2835.

27“27You have heardG191 that it was saidG3004, ‘28You shall not commitG3431 adulteryG3431’; 28but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who looksG991 at a womanG1135 29with lustG1937 for her has alreadyG2235 committedG3431 adulteryG3431 with her in his heartG2588. 2930IfG1487 your rightG1188 eyeG3788 makesG4624 you 31stumbleG4624, tearG1807 it out and throwG906 it from you; for it is betterG4851 for you 32to loseG622 oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 33thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to be thrownG906 into 3435hellG1067. 3036IfG1487 your rightG1188 handG5495 makesG4624 you 37stumbleG4624, cutG1581 it offG1581 and throwG906 it from you; for it is betterG4851 for you 38to lose oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 39thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to goG565 into 4041hellG1067.
