Matthew 5:31 in Context — Matthew 5
29 Si ton œil droit est pour toi une occasion de chute, arrache-le et jette-le loin de toi; car il est avantageux pour toi qu’un seul de tes membres périsse, et que ton corps entier ne soit pas jeté dans la géhenne.
30 Et si ta main droite est pour toi une occasion de chute, coupe-la et jette-la loin de toi; car il est avantageux pour toi qu’un seul de tes membres périsse, et que ton corps entier n’aille pas dans la géhenne.
31 Il a été dit:Que celui qui répudie sa femme lui donne une lettre de divorce.
32 Mais moi, je vous dis que celui qui répudie sa femme, sauf pour cause d’infidélité, l’expose à devenir adultère, et que celui qui épouse une femme répudiée commet un adultère.
33 Vous avez encore appris qu’il a été dit aux anciens:Tu ne te parjureras point, mais tu t’acquitteras envers le Seigneur de ce que tu as déclaré par serment.
