n a woman, to lust after her,
has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (29)And if thy
right eye causes thee to offend, 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 causes
thee to offend, 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.

(31)And it was said: Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her
a writing of divorcement. (32)But I say to you, that whoever shall put
away his wife, save for the cause of fornication, makes her commit
adultery; and whoever shall marry her when put away, commits adultery.

(33)Again ye heard, that it was said to those of old[5:33]: Thou shalt
not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths. (34)But
I say to you, swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's
throne; (35)nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by
Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. (36)Nor shalt thou
swear by thy head; because thou canst not make one hair white or
black. (37)But let your word be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay; for that which is
more than these comes of evil.

(38)Ye heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth. (39)But I say to you, that ye resist not evil; but whoever
shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
(40)And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take thy coat, let
him have thy cloak also. (41)And whoever shall compel thee to go one
mile, go with him two. (42)Give to him that asks of thee, and from him
that would borrow of thee turn not away.

(43)Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt
hate thine enemy. (44)But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray
for those who persecute you; (45)that ye may be sons of your Father
who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the
good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. (46)For if ye love
those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the publicans the
same? (47)And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye that excels?
Do not also the heathen thus? (48)Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

VI.

TAKE heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen by
them; otherwise ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
