5:26  Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing21.

5:27  Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery1:

5:28  but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her1 hath committed adultery with her already in his heart2.

5:29  And if thy right eye1 causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee2: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

5:30  And if thy right hand1 causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee2: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell.

5:31  It was said also1, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

5:32  but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress1: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery2.

5:33  Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths1:

5:34  but I say unto you, swear not at all1; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;

5:35  nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King1.

5:36  Neither shalt thou swear by thy head1, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.

5:37  But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay1: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one].

5:38  Ye have heard that it was said1, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth2:

5:39  but I say unto you, resist not him that is evil1: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also2.

5:40  And if any man would go to law with thee1, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

5:41  And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile1, go with him two2.

5:42  Give to him that asketh thee1, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away2.

5:43  Ye have heard that it was said1, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:

5:44  but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you1;

5:45  that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven1: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good2, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.

5:46  For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye1? do not even the publicans2 the same?

5:47  And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others?] do not even the Gentiles the same?

5:48  Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect1.
