27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: |
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. |
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, 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. |
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if 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. |
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: |
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. |
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: |
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: |
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. |
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. |
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. |
