31 And it is said, That if a man divorce his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.

32 But I say unto you, Whosoever divorceth his wife, except for the guilt of adultery, gith her cause to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

33 And again ye have heard that it was said unto them of old time, Thou shalt not transgress thy oaths, but thou shalt keep thy oaths before the Lord.

34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

35 nor the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King;

36 Thou shalt not swear by thy head, for thou shalt not make one hair white or black.

37 But let your word be yes, yes, yes; no, no; and what is more than this is from the evil one.

38 Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

39 But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whosoever smites thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;

40 And whosoever will sue thee, and take thy shirt, give him also thy outer garment;

41 And whosoever compels thee to go with him one mile, go with him two.

42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thy enemy.

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 that despitefully use you, and persecute you,

45 That ye may be the sons of your Father which is in heaven, for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same [39]?

47 И если вы приветствуете только братьев ваших, что особенного делаете? Не так же ли поступают и язычники?

48 Итак будьте совершенны, как совершен Отец ваш Небесный.

Глава 6

1 Смотрите, не творите милостыни вашей пред людьми с тем, чтобы они видели вас: иначе не будет вам награды от Отца вашего Небесного.

2 Итак, когда творишь милостыню, не труби перед собою, как делают лицемеры в синагогах и на улицах, чтобы прославляли их люди. Истинно говорю вам: они уже получают награду свою.
