MT-5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:
and when he was
set, his disciples came unto him:
MT-5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
MT-5:3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
MT-5:4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be
comforted.
MT-5:5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
MT-5:6 Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for
they shall be filled.
MT-5:7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
MT-5:8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
MT-5:9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called
the children of
God.
MT-5:10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
MT-5:11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and
persecute [you], and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
MT-5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your
reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
MT-5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost
his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be
cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
MT-5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be
hid.
MT-5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
MT-5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
MT-5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfil.
MT-5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
MT-5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom
of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called
great in the
kingdom of heaven.
MT-5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed [the
righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case
enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
MT-5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not
kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
judgment:
MT-5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his
brother without a
cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall
say to his
brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever
shall say, Thou
fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
MT-5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and
there rememberest
that thy brother hath ought against thee;
MT-5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way;
first be
reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
MT-5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in
the way with
him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge,
and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
MT-5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out
thence, till
thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
MT-5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not
commit adultery:
MT-5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman
to lust after
her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
MT-5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
cast [it] from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and
not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
MT-5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast
[it] from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and
not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
MT-5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her
a writing of divorcement:
MT-5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his
wife, saving for
the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and
whosoever shall
marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
MT-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:
MT-5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven;
for it is
God's throne:
MT-5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
Jerusalem; for
it is the city of the great King.
MT-5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
canst not make one
hair white or black.
MT-5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for
whatsoever is
more than these cometh of evil.
MT-5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye,
and a tooth
for a tooth:
MT-5:39 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.
MT-5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away
thy coat, let
him have [thy] cloak also.
MT-5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with
him twain.
MT-5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would
borrow of thee
turn not thou away.
MT-5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour,
and hate thine enemy.
MT-5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully
use you, and
persecute you;
MT-5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in
heaven: for he
maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth
rain on the
just and on the unjust.
MT-5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have
ye? do not even
the publicans the same?
MT-5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
[than others]? do
not even the publicans so?
MT-5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is
in heaven is
perfect.
