Matthew 5:22-35

22But I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who isG3710 angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall be answerableG1777 to 1the courtG2920; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004 to his brotherG80, ‘2You good-for-nothingG4469,’ shall be answerableG1777 to 34the supremeG4892 courtG4892; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004, ‘You foolG3474,’ shall be guiltyG1777 enough to go into the 56fieryG4442 hellG1067. 23ThereforeG3767, ifG1437 you are 7presentingG4374 your 8offeringG1435 at the altarG2379, and thereG2546 you rememberG3403 that your brotherG80 hasG2192 somethingG5100 againstG2596 you, 24leaveG863 your 9offeringG1435 thereG1563 beforeG1715 the altarG2379 and goG5217; firstG4413 beG1259 10reconciledG1259 to your brotherG80, and thenG5119 comeG2064 and presentG4374 your 11offeringG1435. 251213ComeG1510G2132 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, 14you will not comeG1831 outG1831 of thereG1564 untilG2193 you have paidG591 upG591 the lastG2078 15quadransG2835.

27“16You have heardG191 that it was saidG3004, ‘17You shall not commitG3431 adulteryG3431’; 28but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who looksG991 at a womanG1135 18with lustG1937 for her has alreadyG2235 committedG3431 adulteryG3431 with her in his heartG2588. 29NowG1161 19ifG1487 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, 20thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to be thrownG906 into 2122hellG1067. 30And 23ifG1487 your rightG1188 handG5495 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, cutG1581 it offG1581 and throwG906 it awayG575 from you; for it isG4851 betterG4851 for you 24to lose oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 25thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to goG565 into 2627hellG1067.

31“NowG1161 it was saidG3004, ‘28WhoeverG3739G302 sendsG630 his wifeG1135 away is to giveG1325 her a certificateG647 ofG647 divorceG647’; 3229but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who 30divorcesG630 his wifeG1135, exceptG3924 for the reasonG3056 of sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, makesG4160 her commitG3431 adulteryG3431; and whoeverG3739G1437 marriesG1060 a 31divorcedG630 womanG1135 commitsG3429 adulteryG3429.

33“AgainG3825, 32you have heardG191 that 33the ancientsG744 were toldG3004, ‘3435You shall not 36makeG1964 falseG1964 vowsG1964, but shall fulfillG591 your 37vowsG3727 to the LordG2962.’ 34But I sayG3004 to you, 38takeG3660 noG3361 oathG3660 at allG3654, neitherG3383 by heavenG3772, for it is 39the throneG2362 of GodG2316, 35norG3383 by the earthG1093, for it is the 40footstoolG5286 of His feetG4228, norG3383 41by JerusalemG2414, for it is 42the cityG4172 of the greatG3173 KingG935.
