| THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT 3 - (MATHHEW 5 : 31-48) |
| Matthew 5:31 -It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: |
| Matthew 5:32 - But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. |
| Matthew 5:33 - Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: |
| Matthew 5:34 - But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: |
| Matthew 5:35 - Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool : neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. |
| Matthew 5:36 - Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. |
| Matthew 5:37 - But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. |
| Matthew 5:38 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: |
| Matthew 5:39 - But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. |
| Matthew 5:40 - And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. |
| Matthew 5:41 - And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. |
| Matthew 5:42 - Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. |
| Matthew 5:43 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. |
| Matthew 5:44 - But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; |
| Matthew 5:45 - That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. |
| Matthew 5:46 - For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? |
| Matthew 5:47 - And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? |
| Matthew 5:48 - Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. |
