Matthew 5:28-42

28but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who looksG991 at a womanG1135 1with lustG1937 for her has alreadyG2235 committedG3431 adulteryG3431 with her in his heartG2588. 29NowG1161 2ifG1487 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, 3thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to be thrownG906 into 45hellG1067. 30And 6ifG1487 your rightG1188 handG5495 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, cutG1581 it offG1581 and throwG906 it awayG575 from you; for it isG4851 betterG4851 for you 7to lose oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 8thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to goG565 into 910hellG1067.

31“NowG1161 it was saidG3004, ‘11WhoeverG3739G302 sendsG630 his wifeG1135 away is to giveG1325 her a certificateG647 ofG647 divorceG647’; 3212but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who 13divorcesG630 his wifeG1135, exceptG3924 for the reasonG3056 of sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, makesG4160 her commitG3431 adulteryG3431; and whoeverG3739G1437 marriesG1060 a 14divorcedG630 womanG1135 commitsG3429 adulteryG3429.

33“AgainG3825, 15you have heardG191 that 16the ancientsG744 were toldG3004, ‘1718You shall not 19makeG1964 falseG1964 vowsG1964, but shall fulfillG591 your 20vowsG3727 to the LordG2962.’ 34But I sayG3004 to you, 21takeG3660 noG3361 oathG3660 at allG3654, neitherG3383 by heavenG3772, for it is 22the throneG2362 of GodG2316, 35norG3383 by the earthG1093, for it is the 23footstoolG5286 of His feetG4228, norG3383 24by JerusalemG2414, for it is 25the cityG4172 of the greatG3173 KingG935. 36NorG3383 shall you takeG3660 anG3660 oathG3660 by your headG2776, for you cannotG1410G3756 makeG4160 a singleG1520 hairG2359 whiteG3022 orG2228 blackG3189. 37But make sure your statementG3056 is, ‘26YesG3483, yesG3483’ or ‘NoG3756, noG3756’; anything beyondG4053 theseG3778 is 27of 28evilG4190 origin.

38“29You have heardG191 that it was saidG3004, ‘30EyeG3788 for eyeG3788, and toothG3599 for toothG3599.’ 39But I sayG3004 to you, do not showG436 oppositionG436 against an evilG4190 person; but 31whoeverG3748 slapsG4474 you on your rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 the otherG243 toward him alsoG2532. 40And if anyone wantsG2309 to sueG2919 you and takeG2983 your 32tunicG5509, letG863 him haveG863 your 33cloakG2440 alsoG2532. 41WhoeverG3748 34forcesG29 you to go oneG1520 mileG3400, goG5217 with him twoG1417. 4235GiveG1325 to him who asksG154 of you, and do not turnG654 awayG654 from him who wantsG2309 to borrowG1155 from you.
