20
For I say unto you, that unless your righteousness surpass [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21
Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; but whosoever shall kill shall be subject to the judgment.
22
But *I* say unto you, that every one that is lightly angry with his brother shall be subject to the judgment; but whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be subject to [be called before] the sanhedrim; but whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be subject to the penalty of the hell of fire.
23
If therefore thou shouldest offer thy gift at the altar, and there shouldest remember that thy brother has something against thee,
24
leave there thy gift before the altar, and first go, be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25
Make friends with thine adverse party quickly, whilst thou art in the way with him; lest some time the adverse party deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26
Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence till thou hast paid the last farthing.
27
Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28
But *I* say unto you, that every one who looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29
But if thy right eye be a snare to thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.
30
And if thy right hand be a snare to thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.
