You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'                but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.                If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.                If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.                'It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'                but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.                'Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,'                but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;                nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.                Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black.                But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.                'You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'*                But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.                If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.                Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.                Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you.                'You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,* and hate your enemy.*'                But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,                that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.

A Prayer for the Repose of Souls

O Master, Lord God Almighty, Who dost at no time reject Thy servants and despisest not the souls of them that pray to Thee:

give rest to the souls of Thy servants, all departed Orthodox Christians, in the paradise of consolation, in the land of the devout, overlooking their sins whether committed in knowledge or in ignorance.

Grant them that place of sweetness; unite us with them in Thy joy, and preserve us in the remission of sins, through the prayers of our most pure Lady, the Birthgiver of God and Ever-Virgin Mary, the holy and heavenly Angelic Powers [this last phrase in the Greek but not in the Slavonic version-tr.], the holy John, Prophet and Forerunner and Baptist; the holy and glorious Apostles, and all the Saints which have been well-pleasing unto Thee from all ages.

For Thou art He that blesseth and sanctifieth all, and unto Thee do we send up glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Another Prayer for the Departed

O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who takest of Thine own unto Thine own;

Who hast said, All souls are Mine, and Who callest them and keepest them till the day of Resurrection;

Thyself, O Master, deliver the souls of Thy servants [names may be inserted] ,

whom Thou hast taken to Thyself, from every action of the enemy power;

set as guides for them, Angels of peace; propitiously grant them to see Thy countenance;

overlook their misdeeds in this life, whether voluntary or involuntary;

make them worthy of the portion of Thy Saints and establish them in the bosom of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,

Thy righteous ones, whence grief, distress, wailing and gnashing of teeth have fled;

and for us, arrange all things as is good and pleasing unto Thee.

For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind, and to Thee do we send up glory: to the FAther, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
