Matthew:5:22-39
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment .
And whoever says to his brother , "
Raca !'
shall be in danger of the council .
But whoever says , "
You fool !'
shall be in danger of hell fire .
*
Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar ,
and there remember that your brother has something against you ,
*
leave your gift there before the altar ,
and go your way .
First be reconciled to your brother ,
and then come and offer your gift .
*
Agree with your adversary quickly ,
while you are on the way with him ,
lest your adversary deliver you to the judge ,
the judge hand you over to the officer ,
and you be thrown into prison .
*
Assuredly ,
I say to you ,
you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny .
* "
You have heard that it was said to those of old , "
You shall not commit adultery .'
*
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart .
*
If your right eye causes you to sin ,
pluck it out and cast it from you ;
for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish ,
than for your whole body to be cast into hell .
*
And if your right hand causes you to sin ,
cut it off and cast it from you ;
for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish ,
than for your whole body to be cast into hell .
* "
Furthermore it has been said , "
Whoever divorces his wife ,
let him give her a certificate of divorce .'
*
But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery ;
and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery .
* "
Again you have heard that it was said to those of old , "
You shall not swear falsely ,
but shall perform your oaths to the Lord .'
*
But I say to you ,
do not swear at all :
neither by heaven ,
for it is God '
s throne ;
*
nor by the earth ,
for it is His footstool ;
nor by Jerusalem ,
for it is the city of the great King .
*
Nor shall you swear by your head ,
because you cannot make one hair white or black .
*
But let your "
Yes '
be "
Yes ,'
and your "
No ,' "
No .'
For whatever is more than these is from the evil one .
* "
You have heard that it was said , "
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth .'
*
But I tell you not to resist an evil person .
But whoever slaps you on your right cheek ,
turn the other to him also .
