26. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27. Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.

30. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it 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.
31. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

30. And if thy right hand scandalizes thee; cut it off, and cast it from thee; for it is expedient for thee, that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body go into gehenna.
31. It was said however: "Whoever shall have dismissed his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce."
