Oaths
33
"Again
1
you have heard that it was said to those of old,
2
'You shall not swear falsely, but
3
shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'
34
But I say to you,
4
Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for
5
it is the throne of God,
35
or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is
6
the 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';
7
anything more than this comes from evil.
[a]
Retaliation
38
8
"You have heard that it was said,
9
'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
39
But I say to you,
10
Do not resist the one who is evil. But
11
if anyone
12
slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40
And
13
if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,
[b]
let him have your cloak as well.
41
And if anyone
14
forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42
15
Give to the one who begs from you, and
16
do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
Love Your Enemies
43
17
"You have heard that it was said,
18
'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
