Matthew 5:28-39

28But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

30And if your hand—even your stronger hand—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

31“You have heard the law that says, ‘A man can divorce his wife by merely giving her a written notice of divorce.’

32But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery.

33“You have also heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you make to the Lord.’

34But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne.

35And do not say, ‘By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not say, ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King.

36Do not even say, ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black.

37Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.

38“You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

39But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.
