Matthew 5:29-48

29NowG1161 1ifG1487 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, 2thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to be thrownG906 into 34hellG1067. 30And 5ifG1487 your rightG1188 handG5495 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, cutG1581 it offG1581 and throwG906 it awayG575 from you; for it isG4851 betterG4851 for you 6to lose oneG1520 of the partsG3196 of your body, 7thanG2532G3361 for your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 to goG565 into 89hellG1067.

31“NowG1161 it was saidG3004, ‘10WhoeverG3739G302 sendsG630 his wifeG1135 away is to giveG1325 her a certificateG647 ofG647 divorceG647’; 3211but I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who 12divorcesG630 his wifeG1135, exceptG3924 for the reasonG3056 of sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, makesG4160 her commitG3431 adulteryG3431; and whoeverG3739G1437 marriesG1060 a 13divorcedG630 womanG1135 commitsG3429 adulteryG3429.

33“AgainG3825, 14you have heardG191 that 15the ancientsG744 were toldG3004, ‘1617You shall not 18makeG1964 falseG1964 vowsG1964, but shall fulfillG591 your 19vowsG3727 to the LordG2962.’ 34But I sayG3004 to you, 20takeG3660 noG3361 oathG3660 at allG3654, neitherG3383 by heavenG3772, for it is 21the throneG2362 of GodG2316, 35norG3383 by the earthG1093, for it is the 22footstoolG5286 of His feetG4228, norG3383 23by JerusalemG2414, for it is 24the 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, ‘25YesG3483, yesG3483’ or ‘NoG3756, noG3756’; anything beyondG4053 theseG3778 is 26of 27evilG4190 origin.

38“28You have heardG191 that it was saidG3004, ‘29EyeG3788 for eyeG3788, and toothG3599 for toothG3599.’ 39But I sayG3004 to you, do not showG436 oppositionG436 against an evilG4190 person; but 30whoeverG3748 slapsG4474 you on your rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 the otherG243 toward him alsoG2532. 40And if anyone wantsG2309 to sueG2919 you and takeG2983 your 31tunicG5509, letG863 him haveG863 your 32cloakG2440 alsoG2532. 41WhoeverG3748 33forcesG29 you to go oneG1520 mileG3400, goG5217 with him twoG1417. 4234GiveG1325 to him who asksG154 of you, and do not turnG654 awayG654 from him who wantsG2309 to borrowG1155 from you.

43“35You have heardG191 that it was saidG3004, ‘36You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 37and hateG3404 your enemyG2190.’ 44But I sayG3004 to you, 38loveG25 your enemiesG2190 and prayG4336 for thoseG3588 who persecuteG1377 you, 45soG3704 thatG3704 you may prove yourselves to be 39sonsG5207 of your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772; for He causesG393 His sunG2246 to riseG393 on the evilG4190 and the goodG18, and sendsG1026 rainG1026 on the righteousG1342 and the unrighteousG94. 46For 40ifG1437 you loveG25 thoseG3588 who loveG25 you, whatG5101 rewardG3408 doG4160 you haveG2192? EvenG2532 the taxG5057 collectorsG5057, do they not doG4160 the sameG846? 47And ifG1437 you greetG782 onlyG3440 your brothersG80 and sisters, whatG5101 moreG4053 are you doingG4160 than others? EvenG2532 the GentilesG1482, do they not doG4160 the sameG846? 48ThereforeG3767 41you shall be perfectG5046, as your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 is perfectG5046.
