Mathewu 5:17-38

Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umthetho noma abaprofethi; angizanga ukuchitha, kodwa ukugcwalisa. Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kuze kudlule izulu nomhlaba, akusoze kwadlula gamana linye nasicashana sinye somthetho, kuze kufezeke konke. Ngakho oweqa owodwa kule miyalo emincinyane, afundise abantu kanjalo, uyakuthiwa omncinyane embusweni wezulu; kepha oyigcinayo, ayifundise, lowo uyakuthiwa mkhulu embusweni wezulu. Ngokuba ngithi kini: Uma ukulunga kwenu kungadluli okwababhali nokwabaFarisi, anisoze nangena embusweni wezulu. Nizwile kwathiwa kwabasendulo: Ungabulali; nobulalayo uyakuba necala lokwahlulelwa. Kodwa mina ngithi kini: Loba ngubani othukuthelela umfowabo kungelasizatho uzakuba lecala lokwahlulelwa, njalo loba ngubani othi kumfowabo: Raca, uzakuba lecala lomphakathi; uzakuba sengozini yesihogo somlilo. Ngakho uma uletha umnikelo wakho e-altare, ukhumbula lapho ukuthi umfowenu unokuthile ngawe; Shiya lapho umnikelo wakho phambi kwe-altare, uhambe; qala ubuyisane nomfowenu, andukuba uze unikele umnikelo wakho.

Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Kawusoze uphume lapho, uze ukhokhe ifadingi lokugcina. Nizwile kwathiwa kwabasendulo: Ungaphingi; Kepha mina ngithi kini: Yilowo nalowo obuka owesifazane, amkhanuke, usephingile naye enhliziyweni yakhe. Uma iso lakho lokunene likukhubekisa, likhiphe, ulilahle; Uma isandla sakho sokunene sikukhubekisa, sinqume, usilahle; Kwathiwa: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe, kamnike incwadi yesehlukaniso; Kepha mina ngithi kini: Yilowo nalowo olahla umkakhe, kungengenxa yokuphinga, umenza ukuba aphinge; “Nizwile kwathiwa kwabasendulo: ‘Ungafungi, kepha ugcwalise izifungo zakho eNkosini; Kepha mina ngithi kini: Ningafungi nakanye; noma ngezulu; ngoba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu; Noma ngomhlaba; ngoba uyisenabelo senyawo zakhe: loba ngeJerusalema; ngoba kungumuzi weNkosi enkulu. Futhi ungafungi ngekhanda lakho, ngokuba ungeke wenze unwele lube mhlophe noma lube mnyama.
