Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord.
34
But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven for it is the throne of God:
35
Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor 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 speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.
38
You have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39
But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other:
40
And if a man will contend with thee in judgment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him.
41
And whosoever will force thee one mile, go with him other two.
42
Give to him that asketh of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away.
43
You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy.
