Matthew 5:19-30

19ThereforeG3767, whoeverG3739G1437 nullifiesG3089 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 farG4183 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 murderG5407,’ and ‘WhoeverG3739G302 commitsG5407 murderG5407 shall be answerableG1777 to 8the courtG2920.’ 22But I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who isG3710 angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall be answerableG1777 to 9the courtG2920; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004 to his brotherG80, ‘10You good-for-nothingG4469,’ shall be answerableG1777 to 1112the supremeG4892 courtG4892; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004, ‘You foolG3474,’ shall be guiltyG1777 enough to go into the 1314fieryG4442 hellG1067. 23ThereforeG3767, ifG1437 you are 15presentingG4374 your 16offeringG1435 at the altarG2379, and thereG2546 you rememberG3403 that your brotherG80 hasG2192 somethingG5100 againstG2596 you, 24leaveG863 your 17offeringG1435 thereG1563 beforeG1715 the altarG2379 and goG5217; firstG4413 beG1259 18reconciledG1259 to your brotherG80, and thenG5119 comeG2064 and presentG4374 your 19offeringG1435. 252021ComeG1510G2132 toG1510G2132 goodG1510G2132 termsG1510G2132 with your accuserG476 quicklyG5035, whileG2193 you are with him on the wayG3598 to court, soG3379 thatG3379 your accuserG476 will notG3379 handG3860 you overG3860 to the judgeG2923, and the judgeG2923 to the officerG5257, and you will notG3379 be thrownG906 into prisonG5438. 26TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 22you will not comeG1831 outG1831 of thereG1564 untilG2193 you have paidG591 upG591 the lastG2078 23quadransG2835.

27“24You have heardG191 that it was saidG3004, ‘25You shall not commitG3431 adulteryG3431’; 28but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who looksG991 at a womanG1135 26with lustG1937 for her has alreadyG2235 committedG3431 adulteryG3431 with her in his heartG2588. 29NowG1161 27ifG1487 your rightG1188 eyeG3788 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, tearG1807 it outG1807 and throwG906 it awayG575 from you; for it isG4851 betterG4851 for you to loseG622 oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 28thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to be thrownG906 into 2930hellG1067. 30And 31ifG1487 your rightG1188 handG5495 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, cutG1581 it offG1581 and throwG906 it awayG575 from you; for it isG4851 betterG4851 for you 32to lose oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 33thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to goG565 into 3435hellG1067.
