Matthew 5:36-7:29 neither swear by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁶ neither swear by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your speech be, 'Yes, yes;' 'No, no;' and what is more than these is of the evil one. ³⁸ "Ye heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,' ³⁹ but I say to you, Resist not the evil man; but whosoever smites you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; ⁴⁰ and to him who is desirous that you should be sued at the law, and to take your coat, grant your cloak also; ⁴¹ and whosoever shall impress you to go one mile, go with him two. ⁴² Give to him asking you; and from him who wishes to borrow of you turn not away. ⁴³ "Ye heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy;' ⁴⁴ but I say to you, Love your enemies; and pray for those who persecute you; ⁴⁵ that ye may be sons of your Father Who is in Heaven; because He causeth His sun to rise on evil men and on good, and sendeth rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. ⁴⁶ For, if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax-collectors the same? ⁴⁷ And, if ye salute your brethren only, what more than others do ye? Do not even the gentiles the same? ⁴⁸ Ye, therefore, shall be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect." ⁶ ¹ "Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen by them, otherwise at least ye have no reward with your Father Who is in Heaven. ² When, therefore, you are doing alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say to you, they receive their reward. ³ But, when you are doing alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ⁴ that your alms may be in secret; and your Father, Who seeth in secret, will recompense you. ⁵ "And, when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray, standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: verily I say to you, they have their reward. ⁶ But when you pray, enter into your closet; and, having closed your door, pray to your Father Who is in secret; and your Father Who seeth in secret will recompense you. ⁷ "And, when praying, use not vain repetitions, as the gentiles do; for they think that for their much speaking they shall be heard. ⁸ Be not, therefore, like them; for your Father knoweth of what things ye have need before ye ask Him. ⁹ Thus, therefore, pray ye: 'Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. ¹⁰ Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so on earth. ¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread. ¹² And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. ¹³ And bring us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.' ¹⁴ "For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you; ¹⁵ but, if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ¹⁶ "And, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Verily I say to you, they receive their reward. ¹⁷ But, when fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face, ¹⁸ that you appear not to men to be fasting, but to your Father Who is in secret; and your Father Who seeth in secret will recompense you. ¹⁹ "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through, and steal; ²⁰ but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where theives do not break through, nor steal; ²¹ for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ²² "The lamp of the body is the eye. If, therefore, your eye be sound, your whole body will be full of light; ²³ but, if your eye be evil, your whole body will be dark. If, therefore, the light that is in you be darkness, how great the darkness! ²⁴ "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. ²⁵ Therefore, I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink; nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? ²⁶ Behold the fowls of the heaven, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye much more valuable than they? ²⁷ And who of you, by being anxious, can add to his stature one cubit? ²⁸ And why are ye anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; ²⁹ but I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these. ³⁰ And, if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith! ³¹ Be not, therefore, anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink!' or 'What shall we put on?' ³² For after all these things the nations are seeking; for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. ³³ But seek ye first His Kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. ³⁴ Be not, therefore, anxious for the morrow; for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its evil. ⁷ ¹ "Judge not, that ye be not judged; ² for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you. ³ "And why do you behold the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam in your own eye? ⁴ Or how will you say to your brother, 'Permit me to cast out the mote out of your eye;' and, behold, the beam is in your own eye? ⁵ Hypocrite! Cast out first the beam out of your own eye; and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye. ⁶ "Give not that which is holy to the dogs; neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them down with their feet; and, turning, rend you. ⁷ "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you; ⁸ for every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened. ⁹ Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask him for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? ¹¹ If, therefore, ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in Heaven give good things to those asking Him? ¹² "All things, therefore, whatsoever ye wish that men should do to you, so do ye also to them; for this is the law and the prophets. ¹³ "Enter ye in through the narrow gate; because wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it; ¹⁴ because narrow is the gate, and straitened the way that leads to life, and few there are who find it! ¹⁵ "Beware of false prophets, who, indeed, come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravening wolves. ¹⁶ From their fruits ye shall recognize them. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? ¹⁷ So every good tree bears good fruit, but the worthless tree bears evil fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a worthless tree bear good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire. ²⁰ So then, from their fruits ye shall know them. ²¹ "Not every one who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that does the will of My Father in Heaven. ²² Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by Thy name? and by Thy name cast out demons, and by Thy name do many mighty works,'" ²³ And then will I confess to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, ye who work iniquity. ²⁴ "Every one, therefore, who hears these words of Mine, and does them, shall be likened to a prudent man, who, indeed, built his house upon the rock; ²⁵ and the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ "And every one who hears these words of Mine, and does them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who, indeed, built his house upon the sand: ²⁷ and the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was its fall." ²⁸ And it came to pass that, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching; ²⁹ for He was teaching them as One having authority, and not as the scribes.
