Matthew 5:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 5:27

25 ^aAgree with your adversary quickly, ^bwhile you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

Adultery in the Heart

27 “You have heard that it was said¹ to those of old, ^a‘You shall not commit adultery.’

28 But I say to you that whoever ^alooks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29 ^aIf your right eye causes you to¹ sin, ^bpluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

30 And if your right hand causes you to¹ sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Marriage Is Sacred and Binding

31 “Furthermore it has been said, ^a‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’

32 But I say to you that ^awhoever divorces his wife for any reason except¹ sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
