31
It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32
But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of lewdness, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery.
33
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:
34
But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King,
36
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37
But let your communication be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay: for whatever [is] more than these cometh of evil.
38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39
But I say to you, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
41
And whoever shall constrain thee [to go] one mile, go with him two.
