Sirach 15: 15-20
15:15 He added his commandments and precepts.
15:16 If you choose to keep the commandments, and if, having chosen them, you fulfill them with perpetual fidelity, they will preserve you.
15:17 He has set water and fire before you. Extend your hand to whichever one you would choose.
15:18 Before man is life and death, good and evil. Whichever one he chooses will be given to him.
15:19 For the wisdom of God is manifold. And he is strong in power, seeing all things without ceasing.
15:20 The eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him, and he knows each one of the works of man.

Esimene kiri korintlastele 2: 6-10
2:6 Nüüd, we do speak wisdom among the perfect, veel tõesti, this is not the wisdom of this age, nor that of the leaders of this age, which shall be reduced to nothing.
2:7 Selle asemel, we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery which has been hidden, which God predestined before this age for our glory,
2:8 something that none of the leaders of this world have known. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
2:9 But this is just as it has been written: “The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, what things God has prepared for those who love him.”
2:10 But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

Matthew 5: 17-37
5:17 Ärge arvake, et ma olen tulnud seadust või prohveteid lahti laskma. Ma ei ole tulnud lõdvaks, vaid täita.
5:18 Aamen ma ütlen sulle, kindlasti, kuni taevas ja maa kaovad, mitte tükikestki, Seadusest ei kao ükski punkt, kuni kõik on tehtud.
5:19 Seetõttu, kes iganes on lahti lasknud ühe neist kõige väiksematest käskudest, ja on meestele seda õpetanud, kutsutakse taevariigi vähimaks. Aga kes iganes on seda teinud ja õpetanud, sellist nimetatakse suureks taevariigis.
5:20 Sest ma ütlen teile, et kui teie õigus ei ole ületanud kirjatundjate ja variseride oma, ei pääse te taevariiki.
5:21 Olete kuulnud, et seda öeldi vanadele: 'Sa ei tohi mõrvata; kes iganes mõrvab, selle eest tuleb kohut mõista.
5:22 Aga ma ütlen teile, et igaüks, kes vihastab oma venna peale, peab olema kohut mõistetav. Aga kes tahab, on kutsunud oma venna, 'Idioot,“ vastutab nõukogu ees. Siis, kes iganes on talle helistanud, 'Väärtusetu,“ vastutab põrgutulede eest.
5:23 Seetõttu, kui annate oma kingituse altarile, ja seal meenub sulle, et su vennal on sinu vastu midagi,
5:24 jäta oma kingitus sinna, altari ees, ja mine kõigepealt oma vennaga leppima, ja siis võite läheneda ja pakkuda oma kingitust.
5:25 Leppige kiiresti oma vastasega, kui sa temaga veel teel oled, et vastane ei annaks teid kohtuniku kätte, ja kohtunik võib teid ametnikule üle anda, ja sind heidetakse vangi.
5:26 Aamen ma ütlen sulle, et sa ei lähe sealt välja, kuni olete viimase kvartali tagasi maksnud.
5:27 Olete kuulnud, et seda öeldi vanadele: ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
5:28 Aga ma ütlen teile, that anyone who will have looked at a woman, so as to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
5:29 And if your right eye causes you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body be cast into Hell.
5:30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body go into Hell.
5:31 And it has been said: ‘Whoever would dismiss his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.’
5:32 Aga ma ütlen teile, that anyone who will have dismissed his wife, except in the case of fornication, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever will have married her who has been dismissed commits adultery.
5:33 Jällegi, te olete kuulnud, et seda öeldi vanadele: „Sa ei tohi valet vanduda. Sest sa pead tasuma oma vande Issandale.
5:34 Aga ma ütlen teile, ära üldse vannut, ega taeva poolt, sest see on Jumala troon,
5:35 ega ka maa peal, sest see on tema jalalaud, ega ka Jeruusalemma poolt, sest see on suure kuninga linn.
5:36 Samuti ei tohi te vannet anda oma pea juures, sest sa ei suuda üht juuksekarva valgeks või mustaks muuta.
5:37 Kuid olgu teie sõna "jah" tähendanud "jah".," ja "Ei" tähendavad "ei". Sest kõik peale selle on kurjast.
