23 So if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and

[such as a grievance or legitimate complaint] against you,

with your brother, and then come and present your offering.

at law while you are with him on the way [to court], so that your opponent
does not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard,
and you are thrown into prison.
- Do not commit adultery—Matthew 5:27-30
Matthew 5:27-30 Amplified Bible (AMP)
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’;
28 but I say to you that everyone who [so much as]
looks at a woman with lust for her has already
committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 If your right eye makes you stumble and leads you to sin,
tear it out and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source
of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts
of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
30 If your right hand makes you stumble and leads you to sin,
cut it off and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from

of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
- Keep your word—Matthew 5:33-37
Matthew 5:33-37 Amplified Bible (AMP)33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the men of old,
‘You shall not make false vows, but you shall fulfill your vows
to the Lord [as a religious duty].’34 But I say to you, do not make an oath at all, either by heaven,
for it is the throne of God;35 or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; or by Jerusalem,
for it is the city of the Great King.36 Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you are not able
to make a single hair white or black.37 But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’
[a firm yes or no]; anything more than that comes from the evil one.
- Go the second mile—Matthew 5:38-42
Matthew 5:38-42 Amplified Bible (AMP)38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye,
and a tooth for a tooth [punishment that fits the offense].’39 But I say to you, do not resist an evil person
[who insults you or violates your rights]; but whoever
[a]slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other toward him also
[simply ignore insignificant insults or trivial losses and
do not bother to retaliate—maintain your dignity, your self-respect, your poise].40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, [b]
let him have your coat also [for the Lord repays the offender].41 And whoever
[c]
forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from
him who wants to borrow from you.
