And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.
But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.
Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:
But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;
For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?
But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.
Matthew 6
But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;
But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.
Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.
You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:
For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.
Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.
Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.
And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.
You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.
Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.
Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.
You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.
Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.
Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.
Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.
Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.
Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.
Matthew 5
