hile thou art in the way
with him, lest at any time he shall get thee, and thou shalt be
cast into prison.
3 Nephi 12:26
26 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come
out thence until thou hast paid the uttermost senine. And while
ye are in prison can ye pay even one senine? Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Nay.
3 Nephi 12:27
27 Behold, it is written by them of old time, that thou shalt
not commit adultery;
3 Nephi 12:28
28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman, to
lust after her, hath committed adultery already in his heart.
3 Nephi 12:29
29 Behold, I give unto you a commandment, that ye suffer none of
these things to enter into your heart;
3 Nephi 12:30
30 For it is better that ye should deny yourselves of these
things, wherein ye will take up your cross, than that ye should
be cast into hell.
3 Nephi 12:31
31 It hath been written, that whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorcement.
3 Nephi 12:32
32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away
his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery; and whoso shall marry her who is divorced
committeth adultery.
3 Nephi 12:33
33 And again it is written, thou shalt not forswear thyself, but

3 Nephi 12:34
34 But verily, verily, I say unto you, swear not at all; neither
by heaven, for it is God's throne;
3 Nephi 12:35
35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool;
3 Nephi 12:36
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
make one hair black or white;
3 Nephi 12:37
37 But let your communication be Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for
whatsoever cometh of more than these is evil.
3 Nephi 12:38
38 And behold, it is written, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for
a tooth;
3 Nephi 12:39
39 But I say unto you, that ye shall not resist evil, but
whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the
other also;
3 Nephi 12:40
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law and take away thy
coat, let him have thy cloak also;
3 Nephi 12:41
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain.
3 Nephi 12:42
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow
of thee turn not away.
3 Nephi 12:43
43 And behold it is written also, that thou shalt love thy

3 Nephi 12:44
