Matthew 5:21–30

Murder

²¹“You have heard that it was said to those ⁴of old, ^z‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ ²²But I say to you that ^awhoever is angry with his brother ⁵without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ^b‘Raca!’ ⁶shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ⁷‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of ⁸hell fire. ²³Therefore ^cif you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, ^24dleave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. ^25eAgree with your adversary quickly, ^fwhile 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. ²⁶Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

Adultery

²⁷“You have heard that it was said ⁹to those of old, ^g‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ²⁸But I say to you that whoever ^hlooks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ⁱIf your right eye causes you to ¹sin, ^jpluck 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. ³⁰And if your right hand causes you to ²sin, 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.
