Greek New Testament (Novum Testamentum Graece)

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.

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.

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

35. neither by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet; neither by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king;

36. neither by thy head shalt thou swear, because thou canst not make one hair white, or black.

37. Let your speech however be: it is, it is; it is not, it is not; for that which is more than these, is from evil.

38. You have heard, because it was said: "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth!"

39. But I say to you, not to resist evil; but if anyone shall have struck thee on thy right cheek, offer him also the other.

40. And to him, who wishes to contend with thee in judgment, and to take thy tunic, leave to him also the pallium!

41. And whoever shall have forced thee to go a thousand paces, go with him also other two!

42. He who asks from thee, give to him! and to him who wishes to borrow from thee, do not turn away!

43. You have heard, because it was said: "Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy."

44. But I say to you: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute and calumniate you;

45. that you may be the children of your Father, who
