thy
interest that one of thy members should be destroyed, and not that thy
whole body should be cast into hell.

(31)It hath been said indeed, That whosoever will put away his wife,
let him give her a bill of divorce: (32)But I say unto you, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except on account of whoredom, causeth her to
commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is put away,
committeth adultery.

(33)Again ye have heard that it was said to those of old, "Thou shalt
not perjure thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths:"
(34)But I say to thee, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven; for it
is the throne of God: (35)nor by the earth; for it is the footstool of
his feet: nor by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King:
(36)neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one
hair white or black. (37)But let your discourse be, Yea, yea; No, no:
for all addition to these is from the wicked one.

(38)Ye have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth:"
(39)but I say unto you, Resist not an injurious act; but whosoever

enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and
pray for those who treat you insolently, and persecute you; (45)that ye
may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he causeth his
sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and tendeth rain on the just
and on the unjust. (46)For if ye love those who love you, what reward
have you? do not even the publicans the same thing? (47)And if ye
embrace your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? do not even the
publicans so? (48)Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father who is in
heaven is perfect.

CHAP. VI.

TAKE heed that ye do not your alms before men, in order to catch their
eye: for otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
(2)Therefore when thou givest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as
the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may
have glory from men. Verily I say unto you, They receiv
