Matthew 5
English Standard Version
The Sermon on the Mount
5 Seeing the crowds, (A)he went up on the mountain, and when he (B)sat down, his disciples came to him.
The Beatitudes
2 And (C)he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 (D)“Blessed are (E)the poor in spirit, for (F)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Blessed are (G)those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the (H)meek, for they (I)shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and (J)thirst (K)for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are (L)the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are (M)the pure in heart, for (N)they shall see God.
9 “Blessed are (O)the peacemakers, for (P)they shall be called (Q)sons[a] of God.
10 (R)“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for (S)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 (T)“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely (U)on my account. 12 (V)Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for (W)so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth, (X)but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
14 (Y)“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 (Z)Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so (AA)that[b] they may see your good works and (AB)give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
17 (AC)“Do not think that I have come to abolish (AD)the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but (AE)to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, (AF)until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 (AG)Therefore whoever relaxes (AH)one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least (AI)in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great (AJ)in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds (AK)that of the scribes and Pharisees, you (AL)will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Anger
21 (AM)“You have heard that it was said to those of old, (AN)‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable (AO)to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that (AP)everyone who is angry with his brother[c] will be liable (AQ)to judgment; whoever insults[d] his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to (AR)the hell[e] of fire. 23 (AS)So if (AT)you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 (AU)Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26 Truly, I say to you, (AV)you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.[f]
Lust
27 (AW)“You have heard that it was said, (AX)‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that (AY)everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 (AZ)If your right eye (BA)causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into (BB)hell. 30 (BC)And if your right hand (BD)causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into (BE)hell.
Divorce
31 (BF)“It was also said, (BG)‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 (BH)But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and (BI)whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Oaths
33 “Again (BJ)you have heard that it was said to those of old, (BK)‘You shall not swear falsely, but (BL)shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, (BM)Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for (BN)it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is (BO)the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; (BP)anything more than this comes from evil.[g]
Retaliation
38 (BQ)“You have heard that it was said, (BR)‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, (BS)Do not resist the one who is evil. But (BT)if anyone (BU)slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And (BV)if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,[h] let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone (BW)forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 (BX)Give to the one who begs from you, and (BY)do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
Love Your Enemies
43 (BZ)“You have heard that it was said, (CA)‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, (CB)Love your enemies and (CC)pray for those who persecute you, 45 (CD)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 (CE)sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 (CF)For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers,[i] what more are you doing than others? Do not even (CG)the Gentiles do the same? 48 (CH)You therefore must be (CI)perfect, (CJ)as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Mateo 5
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Pagpanudlo ni Jesus didto sa Bukid
5 Sa dihang nakita ni Jesus ang daghang mga tawo, mitungas siya sa bukid ug milingkod didto. Miduol kaniya ang iyang mga tinun-an, 2 ug gitudloan niya sila. Miingon siya:
3 “Bulahan ang mga tawo nga nagaila nga nagkulang sila sa Dios,
kay sakop sila sa paghari sa Dios.
4 Bulahan ang mga nagamasulob-on,
kay lipayon sila sa Dios.
5 Bulahan ang mga mapainubsanon[a]
kay mahimong ila ang kalibotan.
6 Bulahan ang mga tawo nga naninguha gayod sa pagbuhat sa kabubut-on sa Dios,
kay tabangan sila sa Dios sa pagtuman niana nga tinguha.
7 Bulahan ang mga maluloy-on,
kay kaloy-an sila sa Dios.
8 Bulahan ang mga tawo nga hinlo ug kasingkasing,
kay makita nila ang Dios.
9 Bulahan ang mga tawo nga nagapatunhay sa kalinaw,
kay pagatawgon sila nga mga anak sa Dios.
10 Bulahan ang mga tawo nga ginalutos tungod sa ilang pagsunod sa kabubut-on sa Dios,
kay sakop sila sa paghari sa Dios.
11 Bulahan kamo kon tungod sa inyong pagsunod kanako tamayon kamo, lutoson, ug butang-butangan sa tanang matang sa kadaotan. 12 Mao usab kini ang ilang gibuhat kaniadto sa mga propeta. Busa paglipay gayod kamo kay dako ang ganti nga inyong madawat didto sa langit.”
Ang Asin ug ang Suga
(Mar. 9:50; Luc. 14:34-35)
13 “Kamo nga akong mga tinun-an sama sa asin dinhi sa kalibotan. Apan kon mawala ang lami sa asin, wala nay mahimo pa aron molami kini pag-usab. Dili na kini mapuslan, busa ilabay na lang ug tunob-tunoban sa mga tawo.
14 “Sama kamo sa suga nga nagahatag ug kahayag sa mga tawo sa kalibotan. Ug kini dili gayod matago sama sa siyudad nga nahimutang sa ibabaw sa bungtod. 15 Walay tawo nga magdagkot ug suga ug unya takloban lang dayon ug gantangan. Ibutang hinuon niya kini sa tungtonganan aron mahayagan ang tanan sulod sa balay. 16 Busa mao usab kini ang inyong buhaton. Pasigaha ninyo ang inyong suga ngadto sa mga tawo, aron makita nila ang inyong maayong mga binuhatan ug dayegon nila ang inyong Amahan sa langit.”
Ang Pagtulon-an bahin sa Kasugoan
17 “Ayaw kamo paghunahuna nga mianhi ako dinhi aron sa pagwagtang sa Kasugoan ni Moises ug sa mga gisulat sa mga propeta. Hinuon mianhi ako dinhi aron sa pagtuman niini. 18 Ang tinuod mao kini, samtang anaa pa ang langit ug ang yuta wala gayoy bahin sa Kasugoan nga mawala. Bisan pa ang kinagamyan nga bahin niini dili gayod mawad-an ug bili hangtod dili pa matuman ang tanan. 19 Busa si bisan kinsa nga molapas bisan sa kinagamyang bahin sa Kasugoan ug motudlo sa uban sa paglapas usab, siya ang labing ubos sa gingharian sa Dios. Apan si bisan kinsa nga motuman sa Kasugoan ug motudlo sa uban sa pagtuman usab niini, siya ang labing dungganon sa gingharian sa Dios.[b] 20 Busa sultihan ko kamo nga kinahanglan gayod nga ang inyong pagtuman sa kabubut-on sa Dios molabaw pa kaysa pagtuman sa mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan ug sa mga Pariseo, kay kon dili, dili gayod kamo maapil sa paghari sa Dios.”
Ang Pagtulon-an bahin sa Kasuko
21 Midugang si Jesus sa pag-ingon, “Nadungog ninyo ang giingon kaniadto ngadto sa atong mga katigulangan, ‘Ayaw kamo pagpatay,[c] kay si bisan kinsa nga mopatay silotan.’ 22 Apan ako moingon kaninyo nga si bisan kinsa nga may kasuko ngadto sa iyang isigka-tawo silotan. Ug si bisan kinsa nga moingon sa iyang isigka-tawo ‘Wala kay pulos,’ dad-on siya sa kinatas-ang hukmanan aron hukman. Ug si bisan kinsa nga moingon sa iyang isigka-tawo ‘Buang,’ silotan siya didto sa nagadilaab nga kalayo sa impiyerno. 23 Busa bisan anaa na ikaw sa halaran, nga nagdala sa imong halad ngadto sa Dios, ug unya mahinumdoman mo nga nasilo ang imong igsoon kanimo, 24 biyai ang imong halad duol sa halaran ug adtoa una ang imong igsoon ug pakig-uli kaniya. Unya balik ka ug padayon sa imong paghalad.
25 “Kon may mokiha kanimo, pakighusay kaniya sa dili pa kamo moabot ngadto sa korte. Kay kon didto na kamo sa korte, itugyan ka sa huwes ngadto sa pulis ug unya prisohon ka. 26 Ug sigurado gayod nga dili ka na makagawas hangtod nga mabayran mo ang tanan mong multa.”
Ang Pagtulon-an bahin Sa Pagpanapaw
27 “Nadungog ninyo nga giingon kaniadto, ‘Ayaw kamo panapaw.’[d] 28 Apan ako moingon kaninyo nga kon ang lalaki motan-aw nga may tinguha sa pagpakighilawas sa babaye nga dili iyang asawa, sama ra nga nakapanapaw na siya. 29 Busa kon ang imong tuong mata mao ang hinungdan nga makasala ka, lugita kana ug ilabay. Kay mas maayo pa nga mawala ang usa ka bahin sa imong lawas kaysa kompleto ka apan itambog lang ngadto sa impiyerno. 30 Kon ang imong tuong kamot mao ang hinungdan nga makasala ka, putla kana ug ilabay. Kay mas maayo pa nga mawala ang usa ka bahin sa imong lawas kaysa kompleto ka apan mahiadto lang ngadto sa impiyerno.”
Ang Pagtulon-an bahin sa Panagbulag
(Mat. 19:9; Mar. 10:11-12; Luc. 16:18)
31 “Giingon usab nga kon ang lalaki gustong makigbulag sa iyang asawa, kinahanglang mohatag siya sa iyang asawa ug papeles nga magpamatuod sa ilang panagbulag.[e] 32 Apan ako moingon kaninyo nga kon bulagan sa lalaki ang iyang asawa, gawas kon kini nanapaw, siya mismo ang nagatukmod sa iyang asawa nga magpakasala kay magminyo man kini pag-usab; ug si bisan kinsa nga mangasawa niadtong babaye nga gibulagan sa iyang bana makapanapaw.”
Ang Pagtulon-an bahin sa Pagpanumpa
33 “Nadungog ninyo ang giingon ngadto sa atong mga katigulangan nga kon ang tawo may gisaad ug gipanumpaan pa niya sa ngalan sa Ginoo, kinahanglan iya gayod kining tumanon.[f] 34 Apan ako moingon kaninyo nga kon mosaad kamo, ayaw gayod panumpa. Ayaw pag-ingon nga ‘Saksi ko ang langit’ kay mao kini ang trono sa Dios, 35 o kaha ‘Saksi ko ang yuta’ kay mao kini ang tungtonganan sa iyang tiil. Ayaw usab kamo paggamit sa ngalan sa Jerusalem sa inyong pagpanumpa tungod kay mao kini ang siyudad sa bantogan nga Hari. 36 Ug ayaw usab kamo pag-ingon nga, ‘Bisan pag mamatay ako,’ kay bisan gani ang usa lang ka lugas sa buhok dili mo mapaputi o mapaitom. 37 Pag-ingon lang ug ‘Oo’ kon oo ug ‘Dili’ kon dili; kay kon may kapin pa niini gikan na kana kang Satanas.
Dili Kamo Manimalos Sa Inyong Isigka-tawo
(Luc. 6:29-30)
38 “Nadungog ninyo ang giingon, ‘Ang molugit sa mata sa iyang isigka-tawo, lugitan usab sa iyang mata; ug ang mopangag sa iyang isigka-tawo, pangagan usab.’[g] 39 Apan ako moingon kaninyo nga ayaw ninyo balosi ug daotan ang nagabuhat ug daotan diha kaninyo. Kon sagpaon ka sa tuo nga aping, ipasagpa usab ang pikas. 40 Kon may mokiha batok kanimo aron kuhaon ang imong bisti, ihatag bisan ang imong kupo. 41 Kon may sundalo nga mopugos kanimo sa pagpas-an sa iyang karga sa gilay-on nga usa ka kilometro, pas-ana kini sa duha ka kilometro. 42 Hatagi ang mangayo, ug pahulama ang manghulam.”
Higugmaa ang Inyong mga Kaaway
(Luc. 6:27-28, 32-36)
43 “Nadungog ninyo ang giingon, ‘Higugmaa ninyo ang inyong mga higala,[h] ug dumti ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway.’ 44 Apan ako moingon kaninyo nga higugmaa ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway, ug bisan pa ang mga nagalutos kaninyo iampo ninyo. 45 Ug kon buhaton ninyo kini, mahimo kamong tinuod nga mga anak sa inyong Amahan sa langit.[i] Kay dili lang ang mga maayo nga tawo ang iyang gipasidlakan sa adlaw kondili apil usab ang mga daotan. Ug dili lang ang mga matarong ang iyang gihatagan sa ulan kondili apil usab ang mga dili matarong. 46 Ayaw kamo paghunahuna nga may ganti kamo nga madawat gikan sa Dios kon maayo lang kamo sa mga tawo nga maayo usab kaninyo. Kay bisan ang mga maniningil ug buhis nga giila ninyo nga daotan nagabuhat usab niana. 47 Ug kon ang inyong mga higala lang ang inyong gitagad, unsa man ang inyong nabuhat nga labaw pa kaysa uban? Bisan ang mga tawo nga wala moila sa Dios nagabuhat usab niana. 48 Busa magmahingpit kamo, sama sa inyong Amahan nga langitnon.”

New King James Version
The Beatitudes(A)
5 And seeing the multitudes, (B)He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and (C)taught them, saying:
3 “Blessed(D) are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 (E)Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
5 (F)Blessed are the meek,
For (G)they shall inherit the [a]earth.
6 Blessed are those who (H)hunger and thirst for righteousness,
(I)For they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
(J)For they shall obtain mercy.
8 (K)Blessed are the pure in heart,
For (L)they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
10 (M)Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 (N)Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of (O)evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 (P)Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for (Q)so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Believers Are Salt and Light(R)
13 “You are the salt of the earth; (S)but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 (T)“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they (U)light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, (V)that they may see your good works and (W)glorify your Father in heaven.
Christ Fulfills the Law
17 (X)“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, (Y)till heaven and earth pass away, one [b]jot or one [c]tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 (Z)Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds (AA)the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Murder Begins in the Heart(AB)
21 “You have heard that it was said to those [d]of old, (AC)‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that (AD)whoever is angry with his brother [e]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, (AE)‘Raca!’[f] shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, [g]‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of [h]hell fire. 23 Therefore (AF)if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 (AG)leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 (AH)Agree with your adversary quickly, (AI)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. 26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
Adultery in the Heart
27 “You have heard that it was said [i]to those of old, (AJ)‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever (AK)looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 (AL)If your right eye causes you to [j]sin, (AM)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. 30 And if your right hand causes you to [k]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.
Marriage Is Sacred and Binding(AN)
31 “Furthermore it has been said, (AO)‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that (AP)whoever divorces his wife for any reason except [l]sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
Jesus Forbids Oaths
33 “Again you have heard that (AQ)it was said to those of [m]old, (AR)‘You shall not swear falsely, but (AS)shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, (AT)do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is (AU)God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of (AV)the great King. 36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 (AW)But let [n]your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
Go the Second Mile(AX)
38 “You have heard that it was said, (AY)‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 (AZ)But I tell you not to resist an evil person. (BA)But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 41 And whoever (BB)compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and (BC)from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.
Love Your Enemies(BD)
43 “You have heard that it was said, (BE)‘You shall love your neighbor (BF)and hate your enemy.’ 44 [o]But I say to you, (BG)love your enemies, bless those who curse you, (BH)do good to those who hate you, and pray (BI)for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for (BJ)He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 (BK)For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your [p]brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the [q]tax collectors do so? 48 (BL)Therefore you shall be perfect, just (BM)as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes(A)
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(B)
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.(C)
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.(D)
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.(E)
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.(F)
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,(G)
for they will see God.(H)
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,(I)
for they will be called children of God.(J)
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,(K)
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(L)
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you,(M) persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.(N) 12 Rejoice and be glad,(O) because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.(P)
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.(Q)
14 “You are the light of the world.(R) A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.(S) 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,(T) that they may see your good deeds(U) and glorify(V) your Father in heaven.
The Fulfillment of the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.(W) 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.(X) 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands(Y) and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.(Z)
Murder(AA)
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a](AB) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry(AC) with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment.(AD) Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court.(AE) And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.(AF)
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e](AG) 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.(AH) 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble,(AI) gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble,(AJ) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[f](AK) 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(AL)
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath,(AM) but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’(AN) 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:(AO) either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;(AP) 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.(AQ) 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;(AR) anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[g](AS)
Eye for Eye
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h](AT) 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.(AU) 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.(AV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i](AW) and hate your enemy.’(AX) 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,(AY) 45 that you may be children(AZ) of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.(BA) 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?(BB) Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.(BC)
