5:29.

For it is good for you,

That one of your members should perish
And not your whole body

Be thrown into gehenna.

If your right hand is a hindrance to you

Cut it off,

Throw it from you.

For it is good for you,

That one of your members should perish

And not your whole body

Go into gehenna.

It was said also:

Whoever shall put away his wife,

Let him give her a writing of divorce.
But I tell you:

Whoever puts away his wife,
Except because of fornication,

Makes her an adulteress.
Whoever shall marry her
Who is divorced

Commits adultery.

Again you have heard it was said to them of

old time:

Thou shalt not break an oath,

But shalt keep your oaths to the Lord.

5:34.

But I tell you :

Do not swear at all.

Neither by heaven,

For it is God's throne.

Nor by the earth,

For it is his footstool.

Nor by Jerusalem,

For it is the city of the Great King.
Nor are you to swear by your head,

For you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your communication be: Yes. Yes. No. No.

For whatever is more than these
Comes from the evil one.

You have heard it was said:

An eye for an eye,

A tooth for a tooth. But I tell you :

Do not resist him who is doing you harm.
But whoever strikes you on the right cheek
Turn to him the other also.

And if any one would go to law with you,
And take away your coat,

Let him have your cloak, also.

Whoever shall compel you to go one mile,
Go with him two.

Give to him

For he makes his sun to rise on the evil

So

And on the good.

Do not even the saloon-keepers do the same?

If

you salute your brothers only,

What do you do more than others?

Do not even the heathen do the same? So you be perfect,

Just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

6:1.

Be careful not to do your religious duties before

men,

To be looked at by them.

Otherwise you have no reward,
With your Father in Heaven.

So when you do charitable things

Do not sound a trumpet before you,

Like the hypocrites do, in the synagogues and in

the streets,

So that they may be held in honor by men.

To tell you the truth,

They have their reward.

But when you are doing charitable things,
Do not let your left hand know

What your right hand is doing,

So that your charity may be in secret.
And your Father, who sees in secret,
Will reward you.

And when you pray, you are not to be like the
hypocrites,

For they like to pray standing in the syna

gogues

And at the corners of the streets

So that they may be seen by men.

To tell you the truth,

They have received their reward.

6:7.

When you pray, do not repeat the same things
over and over, just as the heathen do.
For they think they shall be heard
For their much speaking.

So do not be like them.

For your Father knows what you need,
Before you ask him.

So pray in this way:

Our Father, thou who art in the heavens,
Let thy name be once for all revered,
Let thy reign once for all come,

Let thy will once for all be done,
On earth just as it is in heaven.

Give us once for all to-day our food for tomorrow,

And put away our offences once for all from us, Just as we on our part have once for all put away the offences of those who have offended us.

And do not take us at all into temptation,
But rescue
us rather once for all from the
Evil One.

For if you once for all put away men's failings, Your heavenly Father will also once for all put away yours.

But if you do not once for all put away men's failings,

Neither will your Father once for all put away yours.

When you are fasting do not be

Like long-faced hypocrites.

For they have long faces,

So that they may appear to men to be fasting.
