28
But I say to you that 1everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29
2If your right eye 3causes 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 4hell.
30
5And if your right hand 6causes 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 7hell.
Divorce
318"It was also said, 9'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
32
10But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and 11whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Oaths
33"Again 12you have heard that it was said to those of old, 13'You shall not swear falsely, but 14shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'
34
But I say to you, 15Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for 16it is the throne of God,
35
or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is 17the city of the great King.
36
And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37
Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; 18anything more than this comes from evil.[a]
Retaliation
3819"You have heard that it was said, 20'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
