"I have come to bring fire on the earth…. Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division."

"And if your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."

"But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also."

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."
