It has been said, ' Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, cause her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced women commits adutery.
Oaths
Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; or by earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your hea, for you connot make even one hair white or blak. Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes fromt he evil one.
An Eye for an Eye
You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone srtikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone foces you to go a mile, go with him twoomiles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the onw who wants to borrow from you.
