Matthew:5:21-48
wbs@Matthew:5:21 @ Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment:
wbs@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell-fire.
wbs@Matthew:5:23 @ Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee;
wbs@Matthew:5:24 @ Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
wbs@Matthew:5:25 @ Agree with thy adversary quickly, while thou art in 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.
wbs@Matthew:5:26 @ Verily, I say to thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
wbs@Matthew:5:27 @ Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
wbs@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
wbs@Matthew:5:29 @ And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, 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.
wbs@Matthew:5:30 @ And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, 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.
wbs@Matthew:5:31 @ It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
wbs@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of lewdness, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery.
wbs@Matthew:5:33 @ Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:
wbs@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
wbs@Matthew:5:35 @ Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King,
wbs@Matthew:5:36 @ Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
wbs@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your communication be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay: for whatever is more than these cometh of evil.
wbs@Matthew:5:38 @ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
wbs@Matthew:5:39 @ But I say to you, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
wbs@Matthew:5:40 @ And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
wbs@Matthew:5:41 @ And whoever shall constrain thee to go one mile, go with him two.
wbs@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.
wbs@Matthew:5:43 @ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy:
wbs@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;
wbs@Matthew:5:45 @ That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
wbs@Matthew:5:46 @ For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
wbs@Matthew:5:47 @ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
wbs@Matthew:5:48 @ Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
