Quod si dici potest, etc., usque ad sed pro dilectione justitiæ, justum pro injusto, quod est bonum pro malo, quod etiam judex facit. Quod dicit, oculum pro oculo, dentem pro dente: non alterum vult tollere, sed utrumque conservare, dum minatur talionem. Quam etiam cum modo facit, ut injuriam vindicta non transeat: et hæc est pacis inchoatio, et quasi justitiæ incœptio.

5:21-47 You have heard. . . . But I say: Jesus contrasts his own teaching to six misinterpretations of the law. Each antithesis provides an example of the surpassing righteousness of Jesus. Jesus reveals the will of God as it contrasts with traditions.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐρρέθη
˱it˲_/was/_said
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God commanded” or “Moses said”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
ἐρρέθη
˱it˲_/was/_said
Here Jesus quotes from the Old Testament scriptures. These words can be found in Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 24:20; and Deuteronomy 19:21. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could format these words in a different way and include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “it was commanded in the law”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὀφθαλμὸν ἀντὶ ὀφθαλμοῦ καὶ ὀδόντα ἀντὶ ὀδόντος
eye for /an/_eye and tooth for /a/_tooth
Here Jesus implies that this command deals with the proper way to punish people when they injure others. The command indicates that the punishment should match what the person did to hurt another person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “If someone injured another person’s eye, his or her eye should be injured as punishment; if someone injured another person’s tooth, his or her tooth should be injured as punishment” or “If you hurt someone’s eye, your eye will be hurt; if you hurt someone’s tooth, your tooth will be hurt”
