Matthew 5:22–44

²²But I say unto you, That ^bwhosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, ^||Raca, shall be in danger of ^cthe council: but whosoever shall say, Thou ^dfool, shall be in danger of ^ehell fire. ²³Therefore if thou bring ^fthy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; ²⁴Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. ^25gAgree with thine adversary quickly, ^hwhiles 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 ⁱofficer, and thou be cast into prison. ²⁶Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. ²⁷Ye have heard that it was said ^jby them of old time, ^kThou shalt not commit adultery: ²⁸But I say unto you, That whosoever ^llooketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. ^29mAnd if thy right eye ^||offend thee, ⁿpluck 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 ^ehell. ^30oAnd if thy right hand offend thee, 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 ^ehell. ³¹It hath been said, ^pWhosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: ³²But I say unto you, That ^qwhosoever 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.

³³Again, ye have heard that it hath been said ^jby them of old time, ^rThou shalt not forswear thyself, but ^sshalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: ³⁴But I say unto you, ^tSwear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is ^uGod’s throne: ³⁵Nor by the earth; for it is ^xhis footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is ^ythe city of the great King. ³⁶Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. ^37zBut let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

³⁸Ye have heard that it hath been said, ^aAn eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: ^39bBut I say unto you, ^cThat ye resist not evil: but ^dwhosoever shall ^ddsmite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. ⁴⁰And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. ⁴¹And whosoever shall ^ecompel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. ^42fGive to him that asketh thee, and ^gfrom him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

⁴³Ye have heard that it hath been said, ^hThou shalt love thy neighbour, and ⁱhate thine enemy. ⁴⁴But I say unto you, ^jLove your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and ^kpray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
