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.

80 Verily, verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery; and whoso shall marry her who is divorced, committeth adultery.

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

82 But verily, verily, I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair black or white;

83 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatsoever cometh of more than these are evil.

84 And behold, it is written, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

85 But I say unto you, that ye shall not resist evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

86 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

87 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
