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.
