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.
Jesus Forbids Oaths
33 “Again you have heard that ait was said to those of old, b‘You shall not swear falsely, but cshall perform your oaths to the Lord.’
35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of athe great King.
36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 aBut let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
Go the Second Mile
39 aBut I tell you not to resist an evil person. bBut whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
