you, that except ye shall keep my commandments, which I have
commanded you at this time, ye shall in no case enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
3 Nephi 12:21
21 Ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, and
it is also written before you, that thou shalt not kill, and
whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment of God;
3 Nephi 12:22
22 But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother
shall be in danger of his judgment. And whosoever shall say to
his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and
whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
3 Nephi 12:23
23 Therefore, if ye shall come unto me, or shall desire to come
unto me, and rememberest that thy brother hast aught against
thee—
3 Nephi 12:24
24 Go thy way unto thy brother, and first be reconciled to thy
brother, and then come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I
will receive you.
3 Nephi 12:25
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly while thou art in the way
with him, lest at any time he shall get thee, and thou shalt be
cast into prison.
3 Nephi 12:26
26 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come
out thence until thou hast paid the uttermost senine. And while
ye are in prison can ye pay even one senine? Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Nay.
3 Nephi 12:27
27 Behold, it is written by them of old time, that thou shalt
not commit adultery;
3 Nephi 12:28
28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman, to
lust after her, hath committed adultery already in his heart.
3 Nephi 12:29
29 Behold, I give unto you a commandment, that ye suffer none of
these things to enter into your heart;
3 Nephi 12:30
30 For it is better that ye should deny yourselves of these
things, wherein ye will take up your cross, than that ye should
be cast into hell.
3 Nephi 12:31
31 It hath been written, that whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorcement.
3 Nephi 12:32
32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away
his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery; and whoso shall marry her who is divorced
committeth adultery.
3 Nephi 12:33
33 And again it is written, thou shalt not forswear thyself, but
shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths;
3 Nephi 12:34
34 But verily, verily, I say unto you, swear not at all; neither
by heaven, for it is God's throne;
3 Nephi 12:35
35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool;
3 Nephi 12:36
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
make one hair black or white;
3 Nephi 12:37
37 But let your communication be Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for
whatsoever cometh of more than these is evil.
3 Nephi 12:38
38 And behold, it is written, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for
a tooth;
3 Nephi 12:39
39 But I say unto you, that ye shall not resist evil, but
whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the
other also;
3 Nephi 12:40
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law and take away thy
coat, let him have thy cloak also;
3 Nephi 12:41
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain.
3 Nephi 12:42
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow
of thee turn not away.
3 Nephi 12:43
43 And behold it is written also, that thou shalt love thy
neighbor and hate thine enemy;
3 Nephi 12:44
44 But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who
despitefully use you and persecute you;
3 Nephi 12:45
45 That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven;
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good.
3 Nephi 12:46
46 Therefore those things which were of old time, which were
under the law, in me are all fulfilled.
3 Nephi 12:47
47 Old things are done away, and all things have become new.
3 Nephi 12:48
48 Therefore I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or
your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
3 Nephi 13 Chapter 13
3 Nephi 13:1
1 Verily, verily, I say that I would that ye should do alms unto
the poor; but take heed that ye do not your alms before men to be
seen of them; otherwise ye have no reward of your Father who is
in heaven.
3 Nephi 13:2
2 Therefore, when ye shall do your alms do not sound a trumpet
before you, as will hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you,
they have their reward.
3 Nephi 13:3
3 But when thou doest alms let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth;
3 Nephi 13:4
4 That thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father who seeth in
secret, himself shall reward thee openly.
3 Nephi 13:5
5 And when thou prayest thou shalt not do as the hypocrites, for
