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 which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have
ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
than others?

48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which
is in heaven is perfect.
CHAPTER 6

of your Father which is in heaven.
2

5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites

7
