Matius 5:27-28

Adultery

5:27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ ²  5:28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

[5:44]  ¹ tc Most mss ([D] L [W] Θ Ë¹³ 33 Ï lat) read “bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you,” before “those who persecute you.” But this is surely a motivated reading, importing the longer form of this aphorism from Luke 6:27-28. The shorter text is found in א B ˹ pc sa, as well as several fathers and versional witnesses.

[5:27]  ² sn A quotation from Exod 20:14; Deut 5:17.
