Matthew 5:22-35

22But I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who is angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall be 1guiltyG1777 before 2the courtG2920; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004 to his brotherG80, ‘3You good-for-nothingG4469,’ shall be 4guiltyG1777 before 56the supremeG4892 courtG4892; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004, ‘You foolG3474,’ shall be 7guiltyG1777 enough to go into the 89fieryG4442 hellG1067. 23ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 you are 10presentingG4374 your 11offeringG1435 at the altarG2379, and thereG2546 rememberG3403 that your brotherG80 hasG2192 somethingG5100 againstG2596 you, 24leaveG863 your 12offeringG1435 thereG1563 beforeG1715 the altarG2379 and goG5217; firstG4413 be 13reconciledG1259 to your brotherG80, and thenG5119 comeG2064 and presentG4374 your 14offeringG1435. 2515MakeG2132 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, 16you will not comeG1831 out of thereG1564 untilG2193 you have paidG591 up the lastG2078 17centG2835.

27“18You have heardG191 that it was saidG3004, ‘19You shall not commitG3431 adulteryG3431’; 28but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who looksG991 at a womanG1135 20with lustG1937 for her has alreadyG2235 committedG3431 adulteryG3431 with her in his heartG2588. 2921IfG1487 your rightG1188 eyeG3788 makesG4624 you 22stumbleG4624, tearG1807 it out and throwG906 it from you; for it is betterG4851 for you 23to loseG622 oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 24thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to be thrownG906 into 2526hellG1067. 3027IfG1487 your rightG1188 handG5495 makesG4624 you 28stumbleG4624, cutG1581 it offG1581 and throwG906 it from you; for it is betterG4851 for you 29to lose oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 30thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to goG565 into 3132hellG1067.

31“It was saidG3004, ‘33WhoeverG3739G302 sendsG630 his wifeG1135 awayG630, let him giveG1325 her a certificateG647 of divorceG647’; 3234but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who 35divorcesG630 his wifeG1135, exceptG3924 for the reasonG3056 of unchastityG4202, makesG4160 her commitG3431 adulteryG3431; and whoeverG3739G1437 marriesG1060 a 36divorcedG630 womanG1135 commitsG3429 adulteryG3429.

33“AgainG3825, 37you have heardG191 that 38the ancientsG744 were toldG3004, ‘3940You shall not 41makeG1964 falseG1964 vowsG1964, but shall fulfillG591 your 42vowsG3727 to the LordG2962.’ 34But I sayG3004 to you, 43makeG3660 noG3361 oathG3660 at allG3654, eitherG3383 by heavenG3772, for it is 44the throneG2362 of GodG2316, 35orG3383 by the earthG1093, for it is the 45footstoolG5286 of His feetG4228, orG3383 46by JerusalemG2414, for it is 47the cityG4172 of the greatG3173 KingG935.
