33
Again ye have heard, that it was said to old men, Thou shalt not forswear, but thou shalt yield thine oaths to the Lord. [Again ye have heard, that it was said to old men, Thou shalt not forswear, but to the Lord thou shalt yield thine oaths.]
34
But I say to you, that ye swear not for any thing [Forsooth I say to you, to not swear on all manner]; neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35
neither by the earth, for it is the stool of his feet; neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of a great king [for it is the city of the great king];
36
neither thou shalt swear by thine head, for thou mayest not make one hair white, or black;
37
but be your word, Yea, yea; Nay, nay [but your word be Yea, yea; Nay, nay]; and that that is more than these, is of evil.
38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
39
But I say to you, that ye against-stand not an evil man; but if any smite thee in the right cheek, show to him also the other; [+But I say to you, to not against-stand evil; but if any shall smite thee on the right cheek, give to him also the tother;]
40
and to him that will strive with thee in doom, and take away thy coat, leave to him also thy mantle [leave thou to him and thine over-cloth];
41
and whoever constraineth thee a thousand paces, go thou with him other twain. [and whoever constrain thee a thousand paces, go thou with him other two.]
42
Give thou to him that asketh of thee [Forsooth give to him that asketh of thee], and turn thou not away from him that will borrow of thee.
43
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
