25
{Settle the case quickly with your accuser} while you are with him on the way, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26
Truly I say to you, you will never come out of there until you have paid back the last penny!
The Sermon on the Mount: Adultery and Lust
27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'
28
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29
And if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw [it] from you! For it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed than your whole body be thrown into hell.
30
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw [it] from you! For it is better for you that one of your limbs be destroyed than your whole body go into hell.
The Sermon on the Mount: Divorce
31 "And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'
32
But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
The Sermon on the Mount: Taking Oaths
33 "Again you have heard that it was said to the {people of old}, 'Do not swear falsely, but fulfill your oaths to the Lord.'
34
But I say to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, because it is the throne of God,
35
or by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king.
