21
"Ye have heard that it was said by them of old, `Thou shalt not kill,' and `Whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.'
22
But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, `Raca,' shall be in danger of the council; but whosoever shall say, `Thou fool,' shall be in danger of hell fire.
23
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,
24
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way. First be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25
"Agree with thine adversary quickly while thou art on the way with him, lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26
Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence until thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27
"Ye have heard that it was said by them of old, `Thou shalt not commit adultery.'
28
But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29
And if thy right eye cause thee to fall, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30
And if thy right hand cause thee to fall, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31
"It hath been said, `Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement.'
