meht. but say 10 you Jnat eV-
eryone who is angry with his
brother, 'Raca', shall be liable to
the Sanhedrin; and whoever says,
Thou fool shall be liable to the
fire of Gehenna. Therefore, If thou
art offering thy gift at the altar,
and there remembered that thy
brother has anything against thee,
leave thy gift before the altar and
go first to be reconciled to thy
brother, and then come and offer
the gift. Come to terms with thy
opponent quickly while thou art
with him on the way; lest thy OPP
ponent deliver thee to the judge,
and the judge to the officer, and
thou be cast into prison. Amen
I say to thee, thou wilt not come
out from 1t until thou hast paid
the last penny.
"You have heard that 1t was
said to the ancients. Thou shalt
not commit adultery. But I say
to you that anyone who even looks
with lust at a woman has al
ready committed adultery with
her in his heart.
$50 if thy right eye Is an occa-
sion of sin to thee, pluck it out
and cast it from thee; for it is
better for thee that one of thy
members should perish than that
thy whole body should be thrown
into hell. And If thy right hand
is an occasion of sin to thee, cut
it off and cast it from thee; for
1t is better for thee that one of
thy members should be lost than
that thy whole body should go in
to hell.
at was said. moreover. Who
ever puts away his wife, let him
give her a written notice of ris-
missal'. But I say to you that ev-
eryone who puts away his wife,
save on account of immortality,
causes her to commit adultery;
and he who marries a woman who
has been put away commits adult
cry.
again you have heard that it
was said to the ancients. Thou
shalt not swear falsely but fulfill
thy oaths to the Lord But I say
to you not to swear at all: Meth
er by heaven, for it is the throne
of God; nor by earth. for it is the
footstool of His Feet; nor by Jer-
usalem, for 1t is the city OF the
great King. Neither do thou swear
by thy head, for thou canst not
make one hair white or black. But
let your speech be, Yes, yes;
No. no.; and whatever is beyond
these comes from the evil one.
"You have heard that it was
said. An eye for an eye, and, "A
tooth for a tooth. But I say to
you not to resist the evildoer; on
the contrary, IL someone strikes
thee on the right cheek, turn to
him the other also; and IL any
one would go to the law with thee
and take thy tunic, let him take
thy cloak as well; and whoever
forces thee to go for one mile, go
with him two. To him who asks
of thee, give; and from him who
would borrow of thee, do not turn
away.
"You have heard that it was
said. Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor, and shalt hate thy enemy.
But l say to you. love your enc
mics, do good to those who hate
you, and pray for those who per-
secute and calumniate you, so
that you may be children of your
Father in heaven, who makes His
sun to rise on the good and the
evil, and sends rain on the just
and the unjust. For if you love
those who love you, who reward
shall you have? Do not even the
publicans do that? And if you sa-
lutte your brethren only. what are
you doing more than others? Do
not even the Gentiles do that?
"You therefore are to be per-
feet, even as your Heavenly Faith
er is perfect.
