005:037 But let your language be, `Yes, yes,' or `No, no.'
Anything in excess of this comes from the Evil one.
005:038 "You have heard that it was said, `Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.'
005:039 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.
005:040 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.
005:041 And whoever shall compel you to convey his goods one mile,
go with him two.
005:042 To him who asks, give: from him who would borrow, turn not away.
005:043 "You have heard that it was said, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour
and hate thine enemy.'
005:044 But I command you all, love your enemies, and pray
for your persecutors;
005:045 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.
005:046 For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you earned?
Do not even the tax-gatherers do that?
005:047 And if you salute only your near relatives, what praise is due
to you? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
005:048 You however are to be complete in goodness, as your
Heavenly Father is complete.
006:001 "But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men,
in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward
for you with your Father who is in Heaven.
006:002 `When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order
that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you
that they already have their reward.
