   commit adultery:   
   [28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her   
   hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.   
      
   [pornography, and strip clubs are part of an adultery industry]   
      
   29 [Mt 18:8-9; Mk 9:43-48] And if your right eye causes you to sin,   
   pluck it out and throw it away. For it is profitable that   
   one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body be   
   thrown into hell.   
   30 [Mt 5:29] And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off   
   and throw it away. For it is profitable for you that one of your members   
   should perish, and not that your whole body be thrown into hell.   
      
   [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee:   
   for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not   
   that thy whole body should be cast into hell.   
   [30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee:   
   for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not   
   that thy whole body should be cast into hell.   
      
   Teaching About Divorce   
      
   Mt 19:9; Mk 10:11-12; Lk 16:18   
      
   31 (Jer 3:1; Mt 19:7) "It was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife,   
   let him give her a certificate of divorce.' [Dt 24:1, 3.]   
   32 (Lk 16:18; 1Co 7:10-11; Mt 5:28) But I say to you that whoever   
   divorces his wife,except for marital unfaithfulness,   
   causes her to commit adultery.   
   And whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.   
      
   [31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her   
   a writing of divorcement:   
   [32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for   
   the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever   
   shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   
      
   Teaching About Oaths   
      
   33 (Lev 19:12; Dt 23:21) "Again, you have heard that it was said   
   by the ancients, 'You shall not swear falsely,   
   but shall fulfill your oaths to the Lord.'   
   (Lev 19:12; Nu 30:2; Dt 23:21.)   
   34 (Isa 66:1; Jas 5:12) But I say to you, do not swear at all:   
   neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;   
   35 (Ps 48:2) nor by the earth, for it is His footstool;   
   nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.   
   36 Nor shall you swear by your head,   
   because you cannot make one hair white or black.   
   37 (Jas 5:12; Mt 13:19) But let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes,'   
   and 'No' mean 'No.' For whatever is more than these comes   
   from the evil one.   
      
   [33] Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou   
   shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:   
   [34] But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is   
   God's throne:   
   [35] Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it   
   is the city of the great King.   
   [36] Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one   
   hair white or black.   
   [37] But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is   
   more than these cometh of evil.   
      
   Teaching About Revenge   
      
   Lk 6:29-30   
      
   38 (Dt 19:21) "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye,   
   and a tooth for a tooth.' (Ex 21:24; Lev 24:20; Dt 19:21.)   
   39 (1Co 6:7; Isa 50:6) But I say to you, do not resist an evil person.   
   But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other as well.   
   40 And if anyone sues you in a court of law and takes away your tunic,   
   let him have your cloak also.   
   41 (Mt 27:32) And whoever compels you to go a mile,[Jnh 3:5.] go with him two.   
   42 (Ps 37:21; Pr 19:17) Give to him who asks you, and from him who would   
   borrow from you do not turn away.   
      
   [38] Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth   
   for a tooth:   
   [39] But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite   
   thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.   
   [40] And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let   
   him have thy cloke also.   
   [41] And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.   
   [42] Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee   
   turn not thou away.   
      
   Love for Enemies   
   Lk 6:27-28, 32-36   
      
   43 (Lev 19:18; Dt 23:6) "You have heard that it was said,   
   'You shall love your neighbor [Lev 19:18.] and hate your enemy.'   
   44 (Lk 23:34; Ac 7:60) But I say to you, love your enemies,   
   bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you,   
   and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,   
   45 (Mt 5:9; Lk 6:35) that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.   
   For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good   
   and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.   
   46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?   
   Do not even the tax collectors do the same?   
   47 (Mt 5:20) And if you greet your brothers only, what are you doing   
   more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?   
   48 (Lev 19:2; Col 1:28) Therefore be perfect, even as your Father   
   who is in heaven is perfect.   
      
   [43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour,   
   and hate thine 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 which despitefully use you,   
   and persecute you;   
   [45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he   
   maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the   
   just and on the unjust.   
   [46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even   
   the publicans the same?   
   [47] And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do   
   not even the publicans so?   
   [48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is   
   perfect.   
      
   Luke 6:27-36   
      
   Love for Enemies   
   Mt 5:38-48   
      
   27 (Lk 6:35; Pr 25:21-22) "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies,   
   do good to those who hate you,   
   28 (1Pe 3:9; Lk 23:34) bless those who curse you,   
   and pray for those who spitefully use you.   
   29 (Isa 50:6; La 3:30) To him who strikes you on the one cheek,   
   offer also the other. And from him who takes away your cloak,   
   do not withhold your tunic as well.   
   30 (Pr 21:26; Ex 22:26-27) Give to everyone who asks of you.   
   And of him who takes away your goods, do not ask for them back.   
   31 (Mt 7:12; Gal 5:14) Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.   
   32 "For if you love those who love you, what thanks do you receive?   
   For even sinners love those who love them.   
   33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do you receive?   
   For even sinners do the same.   
   34 (Mt 5:42; Lk 14:12-14) And if you lend to those from whom you hope   
   to receive, what thanks do you receive? Even sinners lend to sinners,   
   to receive as much in return.   
   35 (2Co 8:9) But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping   
   for nothing in return. Then your reward will be great,   
   and you will be the sons of the Highest.   
   For He is kind to the unthankful and the evil.   
   36 (Mt 5:48; Eph 5:1-2) Be therefore merciful,   
   even as your Father is merciful.   
      
   [27] But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which   
   hate you,   
   [28] Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use   
   you.   
   [29] And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other;   
   and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.   
   [30] Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy   
   goods ask them not again.   
   [31] And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.   
   [32] For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners
