Mat 5:27. Ἐῤῥέθη, it has been said) Murder and adultery are equally sins against our neighbour, and so is revenge, and therefore the words, τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, to them of old time, are not expressed but understood in Mat 5:27; Mat 5:31; Mat 5:38; Mat 5:43, from Mat 5:21. They are, however, expressed in Mat 5:33, where our Lord treats of oaths, and, therefore, of our duty to God.
