20. For I say unto you that unless the Tzedek (Righteousness) of you exceeds that of the Sofrim and Perushim, you will certainly not enter the Malchut HaShomayim.
21. You have heard that it was said to the ancients, LO TIRTZACH (Do not murder, SHEMOT 20:13; DEVARIM 5:17), and every rotzeach (murderer) shall be liable before the Bet Din (Court).
22. But I say to you, that everyone who harbors kaas (anger) against his Ach [b'Moshiach], his chaver, shall be subject to mishpat (judgment); and whoever shall say to his Ach [b'Moshiach], Reyka! (Good for nothing!) will be subject to the Sanhedrin; and whoever shall say Shoteh! (Fool) shall be subject to Eish Gehinnom (Fire of Hell).
23. Therefore, if you bring your korban (sacrifice) to the Mizbeach (altar), and there you remember that your Ach [b'Moshiach] has something against you,
24. leave your korban there before the Mizbeach, and go and first be reconciled to your Ach [b'Moshiach]; and then come offer your korban.
25. Come to terms quickly with your ish riv (opponent in a lawsuit), while you are a fellow-traveler on the derech eretz, lest the ish riv might deliver you to the shofet (judge), and the shofet might deliver you to the shoter (law official), and the shoter might deliver you to the beit hasohar (prison house).
26. For, omein, truly I say to you, you may never come out from there until you repay the last peruta (small coin).
27. You have heard that it was said, LO TINAF (Do not commit adultery, SHEMOT 20:14).
28. But I say to you that everyone looking upon a woman with taavah (lust) for her has already committed niuf (adultery) with her in his heart.
29. And if your right eye causes you to commit chet (sin), tear it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you that one of your evarim (members) be lost and not your whole basar (body, flesh) be thrown into Gehinnom.
30. And if your right hand causes you to commit chet, cut it off and throw it from you, for it is better for you that one of your evarim (members) be lost and not that your whole basar may go into Gehinnom.
31. It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife, let him give to her a "get," a SEFER KERITUT (bill of divorce, DEVARIM 24:1).
