Jesus Teaches About Anger
21"You have heard that it was said to our people long ago, 'Don't kill any person.*
And any person that kills will be judged.' 22But I tell you, don't be angry with
another person. Every person is your brother. If you are angry with other people,
you will be judged. And if you say bad things to another person, you will be judged
by the Jewish council. And if you call another person a fool, you will be in danger
of the fire of hell. 23"So when you offer your gift to God, think about other people.
If you are offering your gift before the altar,* and you remember that your brother
has something against you, 24then leave your gift there at the altar. Go and make
peace with that person. Then come and offer your gift. 25"If your enemy is taking
you to court, then become friends with him quickly. You should do that before you
go to court. If you don't become his friend, then he might give you to the judge.
And the judge might give you to a guard to put you in jail. 26And I tell you that
you will not leave that jail until you have paid everything you owe.
Jesus Teaches About Sexual Sin
27"You have heard that it was said, 'Don't do the sin of adultery.'* 28But I tell
you that if a person looks at a woman and wants to sin sexually with her, then that
person has already done that sin with the woman in his mind. 29If your right eye
makes you sin, then take it out and throw it away. It is better to lose one part
of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell. 30If your right hand
makes you sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your
body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Jesus Teaches About Divorce
(Mt. 19:9; Mk. 10:11-12; Lk. 16:18)
31"It was also said, 'Any person that divorces his wife must give her a written
notice of divorce.'* 32But I tell you that any person that divorces his wife is
causing his wife to be guilty of the sin of adultery.* The only reason for a person
to divorce his wife is if his wife had sexual relations with another man. And any
person that marries that divorced woman is guilty of the sin of adultery.
Jesus Teaches About Making Promises
33"You have heard that it was said to our people long ago, 'When you make a vow*
(promise), don't break that promise. Keep the vows (promises) that you make to
the Lord.'* 34But I tell you, never make a vow. Don't make a vow using the name
of heaven, because heaven is God's throne. 35Don't make a vow using the name of
the earth, because the earth belongs to God. Don't make a vow using the name of
Jerusalem, because that is the city of the great King (God). 36And don't even say
that your own head is proof that you will keep your vow. You cannot make one hair
on your head become white or black. 37Say only 'yes' if you mean yes, and say only
'no' if you mean no. If you must say more than 'yes' or 'no,' it is from the Evil
One (the devil).
Jesus Teaches About Fighting Back
(Lk. 6:29-30)
38"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'*
39But I tell you, don't stand against an evil person. If someone hits you on the
right cheek, then turn and let him hit the other cheek too. 40If a person wants
to sue you in court and take your shirt, then let him have your coat too. 41If
a soldier forces you to walk with him one mile, then go with him two miles. 42If
a person asks you for something, then give it to him. Don't refuse to give to a
person that wants to borrow from you.
Love All People
(Lk. 6:27-28, 32-36)
43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor* and hate your enemy.' 44But
I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those people that do bad things to you.
45If you do this, then you will be true sons of your Father in heaven. Your Father
lets the sun rise for the good people and the bad people. Your Father sends rain
to people that do good and to people that do wrong. 46If you love only the people
that love you, then you will get no reward. Even the tax collectors* do that. 47And
if you are nice only to your friends, then you are no better than other people.
Even the people without God are nice to their friends. 48So you must be perfect,
the same as your Father in heaven is perfect.
