V. [I say] to you, until heaven and earth pass away, one iota or one tittle*
shall by no means pass from the law, until all things are accomplished. Whoever 19
therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and

your right eye causes you to stumble, tear it out, and throw it from you;

that one of your members perish, and not your whole body into Gehen-

her a certificate of divorce." But I say to you, that everyone who divorces 32
