Matthew 5:34-44

34 "But I say to you, ¹make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is ²the throne of God,

35 or by the earth, for it is the ³footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is ⁴THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.

36 "Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot * make one hair white or black.

37 "But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes ' or 'No, no '; anything beyond these is of ⁵evil.

38 "⁶You have heard that it was said, '⁷AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.'

39 "But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but ⁸whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

40 "If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.

41 "Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.

42 "⁹Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

43 "¹⁰You have heard that it was said, '¹¹YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR ¹²and hate your enemy.'

44 "But I say to you, ¹³love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
