25
Make friends with thine adverse party quickly, whilst thou art in the way with him; lest some time the adverse party deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26
Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence till thou hast paid the last farthing.
27
Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28
But *I* say unto you, that every one who looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29
But if thy right eye be a snare to thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.
30
And if thy right hand be a snare to thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.
31
It has been said too, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a letter of divorce.
32
But *I* say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whosoever marries one that is put away commits adultery.
33
Again, ye have heard that it has been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt render to the Lord what thou hast sworn.
34
But *I* say unto you, Do not swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is [the] throne of God;
35
nor by the earth, because it is [the] footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is [the] city of the great King.
