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.’  
34 But I say to you, ado not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is bGod’s throne;  
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

38 “You have heard that it was said, a‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’  
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.  
40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.
41 And whoever acompels you to go one mile, go with him two.  
42 Give to him who asks you, and afrom him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.  

Love Your Enemies

43 “You have heard that it was said, a‘You shall love your neighbor band hate your enemy.’  
44 But I say to you, alove your enemies, bless those who curse you, bdo good to those who hate you, and pray cfor those who spitefully use you and persecute you,  
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for aHe makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.  
46 aFor if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?  
47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the2 tax collectors do so?  
48 aTherefore you shall be perfect, just bas your Father in heaven is perfect.
