²⁷ “^(A)You have heard that it was said, ‘^(B)You shall not commit adultery’; ²⁸ but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman ^(C)with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ Now ^(D)if your right eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, ^[a]than for your whole body to be thrown into ^[b](E)hell. ³⁰ And ^(F)if your right hand is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you ^[c]to lose one of the parts of your body, ^[d]than for your whole body to go into ^[e](G)hell.

³¹ “Now it was said, ‘^(H)Whoever sends his wife away is to give her a certificate of divorce’; ^32 (I)but I say to you that everyone who ^[f]divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a ^[g]divorced woman commits adultery.

³³ “Again, ^(J)you have heard that ^[h]the ancients were told, ‘^[i](K)You shall not ^[j]make false vows, but shall fulfill your ^[k]vows to the Lord.’ ³⁴ But I say to you, ^(L)take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is ^(M)the throne of God, ³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is the ^(N)footstool of His feet, nor ^[l]by Jerusalem, for it is ^(O)the city of the great King. ³⁶ Nor shall you take an oath by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. ³⁷ But make sure your statement is, ‘^[m]Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is ^[n]of ^(P)evil origin.
