Romans 2

  14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things
contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
  15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience
also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else
excusing one another;)
  16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel.
  17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy
boast of God,
  18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent,
being instructed out of the law;
  19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of
them which are in darkness,
  20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of
knowledge and of the truth in the law.
  21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou
that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
  22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit
adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
  23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law
dishonourest thou God?
  24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is
written.
  25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a
breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
  26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall
not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
  27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law,
judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
  28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh:

Matthew 5

  33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou
shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
  34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:
  35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of the great King.
  36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair
white or black.
  37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil.
  38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth:
  39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
  40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloak also.
  41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
