Matthew 5:33-48
Jesus Teaches About Vows
33-37 Jesus teaches us not to swear, for any reason. We have to be very moderate. Jesus tells us if it's an affirmative, just say so. If it's not, then say so. We have no reason to make anything more out of it.
Jesus Teaches About Retaliation
38-42 Jesus teaches about revenge and how "an eye for an eye" is not the right approach. He says, "If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." We have to be giving. If someone is asking you of something, then be there for that person. If someone needs something, then give to that person.
Jesus Teaches About Loving Enemies
43-48 Jesus teaches about loving everyone, including your enemies. We have to be able to pray for them. Loving those who love you doesn't reward you anything. Everyone does this.
