3 And so kagō, brothers adelphos, I could dynamai not ou speak laleō to you hymeis as hōs spiritual pneumatikos people , but alla rather as hōs people of the flesh sarkinos, as hōs infants nēpios in en Christ Christos. ² I gave potizō you hymeis milk gala, not ou solid brōma food , for gar you were not oupō ready dynamai for it. And alla even now nyn you are not oude yet eti ready dynamai, ³ for gar you are eimi still eti of the flesh sarkikos. For gar while hopou there is jealousy zēlos and kai strife eris among en you hymeis, are you eimi not ouchi of the flesh sarkikos and kai behaving peripateō like kata mere men anthrōpos? ⁴ For gar when hotan one tis says legō, “ I egō follow eimi Paul Paulos,” and de another heteros, “ I egō follow Apollos Apollōs,” are you eimi not ou like everyone anthrōpos else ?

⁵ What tis then oun is eimi Apollos Apollōs? What tis · de is eimi Paul Paulos? Servants diakonos through dia whom hos you came to believe pisteuō, even kai as hōs the ho Lord kyrios assigned didōmi to each hekastos of us. ⁶ I egō planted phyteuō, Apollos Apollōs watered potizō, but alla · ho God theos has been causing the growth auxanō. ⁷ So hōste neither oute the ho one who plants phyteuō nor oute the ho one who waters potizō is eimi anything tis, but alla God theos is the ho one who gives the growth auxanō. ⁸ The ho one who plants phyteuō · de and kai the ho one who waters potizō have eimi a common purpose heis, and de each hekastos will receive lambanō · ho his idios wages misthos on kata the basis of · ho his idios work kopos. ⁹ For gar we are eimi coworkers synergos belonging to God theos. You are eimi God’ s theos field geōrgion, God’ s theos building oikodomē.

²¹ “ You have heard akouō that hoti it was said legō to those ho of old archaios, ‘ You shall not ou murder phoneuō,’ and de, ‘ whoever hos murders phoneuō will be eimi liable enochos to ho judgment krisis.’ ²² But de I egō say legō to you hymeis that hoti anyone pas who ho is angry orgizō with ho his autos brother adelphos will be eimi liable enochos to ho judgment krisis; and de whoever hos says legō to ho his autos brother adelphos, ‘ Raka rhaka,’ will be eimi liable enochos to the ho council synedrion; and de whoever hos says legō, ‘ You fool mōros!’ will be eimi liable enochos to eis the ho hell geenna of ho fire pyr. ²³ Therefore oun if ean you are bringing prospherō · ho your sy gift dōron to epi the ho altar thusiastērion and there kakei remember mimnēskomai that hoti · ho your sy brother adelphos has echō something tis against kata you sy, ²⁴ leave aphiēmi your sy gift dōron there ekei · ho before emprosthen the ho altar thusiastērion and kai first prōton go hypagō and be reconciled diallassomai to ho your sy brother adelphos, and kai then tote come erchomai and offer prospherō · ho your sy gift dōron. ²⁵ Come eimi to terms eunoeō quickly tachus with ho your sy accuser antidikos while heōs hostis you are eimi still with meta him autos on en the ho way hodos to court, or mēpote your accuser antidikos may hand paradidōmi you sy over · ho to the ho judge kritēs, and kai the ho judge kritēs to the ho guard hypēretēs, and kai you be thrown ballō into eis prison phylakē. ²⁶ I tell legō you sy the truth amēn, you will certainly not ou get exerchomai out of there ekeithen until heōs an you have paid apodidōmi the ho last eschatos penny kodrantēs.

²⁷ “ You have heard akouō that hoti it was said legō, ‘ You shall not ou commit moicheuō adultery .’ ²⁸ But de I egō say legō to you hymeis that hoti whoever pas · ho looks blepō at a woman gynē to pros · ho lust epithumeō after her autos has already ēdē committed moicheuō adultery with her autos in en · ho his autos heart kardia. ²⁹ If ei · de · ho your sy right dexios eye ophthalmos · ho causes skandalizō you sy to sin, gouge exaireō it autos out and kai throw ballō it away apo from you sy, for gar it is better sympherō for you sy to hina lose apollymi a heis · ho part melos of your sy body than kai mē to have your sy whole holos · ho body sōma thrown ballō into eis hell geenna. ³⁰ And kai if ei · ho your sy right dexios hand cheir causes skandalizō you sy to sin, cut ekkoptō it autos off and kai throw ballō it away apo from you sy; for gar it is better sympherō for you sy to hina lose apollymi a heis · ho part melos of your sy body than kai mē to have your sy whole holos · ho body sōma thrown aperchomai into eis hell geenna.

³¹ “ And de it was said legō, ‘ Whoever hos an divorces apolyō · ho his autos wife gynē, let him give didōmi her autos a written notice of divorce apostasion.’ ³² But de I egō say legō to you hymeis that hoti anyone pas who ho divorces apolyō · ho his autos wife gynē, except parektos on the ground logos of sexual porneia immorality , makes poieō her autos commit moicheuō adultery , and kai whoever hos ean marries gameō a divorced apolyō woman is made to commit adultery moichaō.

³³ “ Again palin, you have heard akouō that hoti it was said legō to those ho of old archaios, ‘ You shall not ou break epiorkeō an oath , but de carry out apodidōmi the ho vows horkos you sy made to the ho Lord kyrios.’ ³⁴ But de I egō say legō to you hymeis, do not mē take omnyō an oath at all holōs; neither mēte by en · ho heaven ouranos, for hoti it is eimi the throne thronos of ho God theos, ³⁵ nor mēte by en the ho earth gē, for hoti it is eimi a footstool hypopodion for ho his autos feet pous, nor mēte by eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma, for hoti it is eimi the city polis of the ho great megas King basileus. ³⁶ Nor mēte shall you take an oath omnyō by en · ho your sy head kephalē, because hoti you cannot ou make poieō a single heis hair thrix white leukos or ē black melas. ³⁷ But de let what ho you hymeis say logos be eimi a simple ‘ Yes nai, Yes nai,’ or ‘ No ou, No ou;’ · ho · de anything more perissos than this houtos comes eimi from ek the ho evil ponēros one .
