| Matthew 5:24 | leave your gift there before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother first, and then return and proceed to offer your gift. | While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering. | leave there thy gift before the altar, and first go, be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. |
| Matthew 5:25 | Come to terms without delay with your opponent while you are yet with him on the way to the court; for fear he should obtain judgement from the magistrate against you, and the magistrate should give you in custody to the officer and you be thrown into prison. | Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison. | Make friends with thine adverse party quickly, whilst thou art in the way with him; lest some time the adverse party deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. |

| Matthew 5:27 | "You have heard that it was said, `Thou shalt not commit adultery.' | You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife: | Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery. |
| Matthew 5:28 | But I tell you that whoever looks at a woman and cherishes lustful thoughts has already in his heart become guilty with regard to her. | But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart. | But *I* say unto you, that every one who looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. |
| Matthew 5:29 | 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. | 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 be a snare to thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. |
| Matthew 5:30 | And if your right hand is a snare to you, cut it off and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should go into Gehenna. | And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off 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. | And if thy right hand be a snare to thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. |

| Matthew 5:32 | But I tell you that every man who puts away his wife except on the ground of unfaithfulness causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries her when so divorced commits adultery. | But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her. | But *I* say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whosoever marries one that is put away commits adultery. |

| Matthew 5:34 | But I tell you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, for it is God's throne; | But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God; | But *I* say unto you, Do not swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is [the] throne of God; |
| Matthew 5:35 | nor by the earth, for it is the footstool under His feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the City of the Great King. | Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King. | nor by the earth, because it is [the] footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is [the] city of the great King. |
| Matthew 5:36 | And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. | You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. | Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. |
| Matthew 5:37 | But let your language be, `Yes, yes,' or `No, no.'

| Matthew 5:38 | "You have heard that it was said, `Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.' | You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: | Ye have heard that it has been said, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. |
| Matthew 5:39 | But I tell you not to resist a wicked man, but if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well. | But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned. | But *I* say unto you, not to resist evil; but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other; |
| Matthew 5:40 | If any one wishes to go to law with you and to deprive you of your under garment, let him take your outer one also. | And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him. | and to him that would go to law with thee and take thy body coat, leave him thy cloak also. |

| Matthew 5:43 | "You have heard that it was said, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy.' | You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you: | Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy. |
| Matthew 5:44 | But I command you all, love your enemies, and pray for your persecutors; | 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* say unto you, Love your enemies, [bless those who curse you,] do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who [insult you and] persecute you, |
| Matthew 5:45 | 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. | 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 [the] sons of your Father who is in [the] heavens; for he makes his sun rise on evil and good, and sends rain on just and unjust. |
| Matthew 5:46 | For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you earned? Do not even the tax-gatherers do that? | For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same? | For if ye should love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same? |

Do not even the Gentiles do the same? | And if you say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same? | And if ye should salute your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? Do not also the Gentiles the same? |
| Matthew 5:48 | You however are to be complete in goodness, as your Heavenly Father is complete. | Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete. | Be *ye* therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. |
