Matthew 5:27
Thou shalt not commit adultery ( ου μοιχευσεις ). These quotations (verses 21, 27, 33) from the Decalogue (Ex 20 and De 5) are from the Septuagint and use ου and the future indicative (volitive future, common Greek idiom). In 5:43 the positive form, volitive future, occurs ( αγαπησεις ). In 5:41 the third person ( δοτω ) singular second aorist active imperative is used. In 5:38 no verb occurs.
