Ye haue hearde howe it was sayde to the of olde tyme: Thou shalt not comitt advoutrie.
28
But I say vnto you that whosoeuer looketh on a wyfe lustynge after her hathe comitted advoutrie with hir alredy in his hert.
29
Wherfore yf thy right eye offende ye plucke hym out and caste him from the. Better it is for the yt one of thy membres perisshe then that thy hole bodye shuld be cast into hell.
30
Also if thy right honde offend ye cut hym of and caste hym from the. Better yt ys that one of thy membres perisshe then that all thy body shulde be caste in to hell.
31
It ys sayd whosoever put awaye his wyfe let hym geve her a testymonyall also of the devorcement.
32
But I say vnto you: whosoever put awaye his wyfe (except it be for fornicacion) causeth her to breake matrymony. And whosoever maryeth her that is devorsed breaketh wedlocke.
33
Agayne ye haue hearde how it was sayd to the of olde tyme thou shalt not forsuere thy selfe but shalt performe thyne othe to God.
34
But I saye vnto you swere not at all nether by heue for it ys Goddes seate:
35
nor yet by the erth for it is his fote stole: nether by Ierusalem for it ys ye cyte of yt greate kynge:
36
nether shalt thou sweare by thy heed because thou canst not make one white heer or blacke:
37
But your comunicacion shalbe ye ye: nay nay. For whatsoeuer is more then yt cometh of yvell.
