²²But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

²³If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath anything against thee;

²⁴Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother, and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift.

²⁵Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

²⁶Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay the last farthing.

²⁷You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery.

²⁸But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

²⁹And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than thy whole body be cast into hell.

³⁰And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body go into hell.

³¹And it hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.

³²But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.

³³Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord.

³⁴But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven for it is the throne of God:

³⁵Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king:

³⁶Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

³⁷But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.

³⁸You have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

³⁹But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other:

⁴⁰And if a man will contend with thee in judgment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him.

⁴¹And whosoever will force thee one mile, go with him other two.

⁴²Give to him that asketh of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away.

⁴³You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy.

⁴⁴But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:

Read in Logos

Matthew 5:44–45: But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
