Truly, I say to you, 1you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.[a]
Lust
272"You have heard that it was said, 3'You shall not commit adultery.'
28
But I say to you that 4everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29
5If your right eye 6causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into 7hell.
30
8And if your right hand 9causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into 10hell.
Divorce
3111"It was also said, 12'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
32
13But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and 14whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Oaths
33"Again 15you have heard that it was said to those of old, 16'You shall not swear falsely, but 17shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'
34
But I say to you, 18Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for 19it is the throne of God,
35
or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is 20the city of the great King.
36
And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
