to the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, Worthless fellow,
shall be subject to the Sanhedrim; and whoever says, You fool, shall be
subject to the hell of fire. [5:23]If, therefore, you offer your gift
on the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing
against you, [5:24]leave there your gift before the altar, and go and
first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
[5:25]Agree with your accuser quickly, while you are with him in the
way, lest the accuser deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver
you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. [5:26]I tell you
truly, you shall not go out thence till you have paid the last quadrans
[4 mills].

4 [5:27]You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery;
[5:28] but I tell you, that every one who looks on a woman to desire
her inordinately, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
[5:29]But if your right eye offends you, pluck it out and cast it from
you; for it is better for you that one of your members should perish,
and not that your whole body should be cast into hell. [5:30]And if
your right hand offends you, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is
better for you that one of your members should perish, and not that
your whole body should go into hell. [5:31]And it was said, Whoever
would put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorcement. [5:32]
But I tell you, that whoever puts away his wife, except for adultery,
causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries her that is put
away, commits adultery. [5:33]Again, you have heard that it was said by
the ancients, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the
Lord your oaths. [5:34]But I tell you, Swear not at all; neither by
heaven, for it is God's throne; [5:35]nor by the earth, for it is his
footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King;
[5:36]nor swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or
black. [5:37]But let your speech be, yes, yes, and no, no; for any
thing more than this is evil.

5 [5:38]You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth. [5:39]But I tell you not to resist the evil man; but
whoever shall strike you on the right cheek, turn to him the other
also; [5:40]and if a man wishes to have a law suit with you, and take
away your coat, let him have your cloak also; [5:41]and whoever shall
compel you to go one mile, go two miles with him. [5:42
