SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:27
¶ Oísteis que fue dicho a los antiguos: No adulterars.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:27
Verse 27. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old] By the ancients, toiv arcaioiv, is omitted by nearly a hundred MSS., and some of them of the very greatest antiquity and authority; also by the Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, Gothic, and Sclavonian versions; by four copies of the old Itala; and by Origen, Cyril, Theophylact, Euthymius, and Hilary. On this authority Wetstein and Griesbach have left it out of the text.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. Ye have heard that it was said , etc.] These forms of speech, as well as what follows, by them of old time , have been explained, in ver. 21. The law here mentioned, thou shalt not commit adultery , is recorded in ( Exodus 20:14) and the meaning of our Lord is, not that the then present Jews had heard that such a law had been delivered to the ancients, their fathers, at Mount Sinai; for that they could read in their Bibles: but they had received it by tradition, that the sense of it, which had been given to their ancestors, by the ancient doctors of the church, was, that this law is to be taken strictly, as it lies, and only regards the sin of uncleanness in married persons; or, what was strictly adultery, and that actual; so that it had no respect to fornication, or unchaste thoughts, words, or actions, but that single act only.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-32 - Victory over the desires of the heart, must be attended with painfu exertions. But it must be done. Every thing is bestowed to save us from our sins, not in them. All our senses and powers must be kept from those things which lead to transgression. Those who lead others int temptation to sin, by dress or in other ways, or leave them in it, or expose them to it, make themselves guilty of their sin, and will be accountable for it. If painful operations are submitted to, that ou lives may be saved, what ought our minds to shrink from, when the salvation of our souls is concerned? There is tender mercy under all the Divine requirements, and the grace and consolations of the Spiri will enable us to attend to them.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
5:27 {Thou shalt not commit adultery} (ou moiceuseis). These quotations (verses #21,27,33) from the Decalogue (#Ex 20 and #De 5) are from the Septuagint and use ou and the future indicative (volitive future, common Greek idiom). In #5:43 the positive form, volitive future, occurs (agapseis). In #5:41 the third person (dot") singular second aorist active imperative is used. In #5:38 no verb occurs.
