Truly do I say to thee, Thou wilt not come out thence, till thou hast paid the last farthing.

Ye have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

And if thy right eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

And if thy right hand cause thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should go away into hell.

And it was said, "Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement."

But I say to you, that whoever putteth away his wife, unless it be on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery; and whoever shall marry her when put away, committeth adultery.

Again ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, "Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths."

But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we he clothed?

For with what judgment ye judge, ye will be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you.

And why dost thou look at the mote that is in thy brothers eye, and not perceive the beam in thine own eye?

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching.
