* But I say (5719 ) unto you , That whosoever is angry (5746 ) with his brother without a cause shall be (5704 ) in danger of the judgment : and whosoever shall say (5632 ) to his brother , Raca , shall be (5704 ) in danger of the council : but whosoever shall say (5632 ), Thou fool , shall be (5704 ) in danger of hell fire . * Therefore if thou bring (5725 ) thy gift to the altar , and there rememberest (5686 ) that thy brother hath (5719 ) ought against thee ; * Leave (5628 ) there thy gift before the altar , and go thy way (5720 ); first be reconciled (5649 ) to thy brother , and then come (5631 ) and offer (5720 ) thy gift . * Agree (5749 ) (5723 ) with thine adversary quickly , whiles thou art (5748 ) in the way with him ; lest at any time the adversary deliver (5632 ) thee to the judge , and the judge deliver (5632 ) thee to the officer , and thou be cast (5701 ) into prison . * Verily I say (5719 ) unto thee , Thou shalt by no means come (5632 ) out thence , till thou hast paid (5632 ) the uttermost farthing . * Ye have heard (5656 ) that it was said (5681 ) by them of old time , Thou shalt not commit adultery (5692 ): * But I say (5719 ) unto you , That whosoever looketh (5723 ) on a woman to lust after (5658 ) her hath committed adultery (5656 ) with her already in his heart . * And if thy right eye offend (5719 ) thee , pluck it out (5628 ), and cast (5628 ) it from thee : for it is profitable (5719 ) for thee that one of thy members should perish (5643 ), and not that thy whole body should be cast (5686 ) into hell . * And if thy right hand offend (5719 ) thee , cut it off (5657 ), and cast (5628 ) it from thee : for it is profitable (5719 ) for thee that one of thy members should perish (5643 ), and not that thy whole body should be cast (5686 ) into hell . * It hath been said (5681 ), Whosoever shall put away (5661 ) his wife , let him give (5628 ) her a writing of divorcement : * But I say (5719 ) unto you , That whosoever shall put away (5661 ) his wife , saving for the cause of fornication , causeth (5719 ) her to commit adultery (5738 ): and whosoever shall marry (5661 ) her that is divorced (5772 ) committeth adultery (5736 ). * Again , ye have heard (5656 ) that it hath been said (5681 ) by them of old time , Thou shalt not forswear thyself (5692 ), but shalt perform (5692 ) unto the Lord thine oaths : * But I say (5719 ) unto you , Swear (5658 ) not at all ; neither by heaven ; for it is (5748 ) Gods throne : * Nor by the earth ; for it is (5748 ) his footstool : neither by Jerusalem ; for it is (5748 ) the city of the great King . * Neither shalt thou swear (5661 ) by thy head , because thou canst (5736 ) not make (5658 ) one hair white or black . * But let your communication be (5749 ), Yea , yea ; Nay , nay : for whatsoever is more than these cometh (5748 ) of evil . * Ye have heard (5656 ) that it hath been said (5681 ), An eye for an eye , and a tooth for a tooth : * But I say (5719 ) unto you , That ye resist (5629 ) not evil : but whosoever shall smite (5692 ) thee on thy right cheek , turn (5657 ) to him the other also .
