72 Go thy way unto thy brother, and first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I will receive you.

73 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him, lest at any time he shall get thee, and thou shalt be cast into prison.

75 And while ye are in prison, can ye pay even one senine? Verily, verily I say unto you, Nay.

76 Behold, it is written by them of old time, that thou shalt not commit adultery;

77 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery already in his heart.

78 Behold, I give you a commandment, that ye suffer none of these things to enter into your heart; for it is better that ye should deny yourselves of these things, wherein ye will take up your cross, than that ye should be cast into hell.

79 It hath been written, that whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement.

81 And again it is written. Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths.
