23. Therefore if you present your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24. leave your gift there before the altar and first go be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your gift.
25. Settle the case quickly with your accuser while you are with him on the way, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26. Truly I say to you, you will never come out of there until you have paid back the last penny!
27. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28. But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29. And if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed than your whole body be thrown into hell.
30. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your limbs be destroyed than your whole body go into hell.
31. “And it was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
32. But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
33. “Again you have heard that it was said to the people of old, ‘Do not swear falsely, but fulfill your oaths to the Lord.’
34. But I say to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, because it is the throne of God,
35. or by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king.
36. And do not swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37. But let your statement be ‘Yes, yes; no, no,’ and anything beyond these is from the evil one.
