I have not come for destruction, but to make complete. | `Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill; | "Do not for a moment suppose that I have come to abrogate the Law or the Prophets: I have not come to abrogate them but to give them their completion. |

| Matthew 5:27 | You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife: | `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery; | "You have heard that it was said, `Thou shalt not commit adultery.' |

| Matthew 5:29 | And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell. | `But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. | If therefore your eye, even the right eye, is a snare to you, tear it out and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should be thrown into Gehenna. |

| Matthew 5:36 | You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. | nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black; | And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. |
| Matthew 5:37 | But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One. | but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil. | But let your language be, `Yes, yes,' or `No, no.' Anything in excess of this comes from the Evil one. |
| Matthew 5:38 | You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: | `Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth; | "You have heard that it was said, `Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.' |

| Matthew 5:43 | You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you: | `Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt hate thine enemy; | "You have heard that it was said, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy.' |
| Matthew 5:44 | But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you; | but I I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you, | But I command you all, love your enemies, and pray for your persecutors; |
| Matthew 5:45 | So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner. | that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous. | that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good, and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong. |
