Matthew 5

5Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,G1161G1492G3793G305G1519G3735G2532G846G2523G846G3101G4334G8462and he began to teach them. He said:G2532G455G846G4750G1321G846G30043"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.G3107G4434G4151G3754G846G2076G932G37724Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.G3107G3996G3754G846G38705Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.G3107G4239G3754G846G2816G10936Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.G3107G3588G3983G2532G1372G1343G3754G846G55267Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.G3107G1655G3754G846G16538Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.G3107G2513G2588G3754G846G3700G23169Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.G3107G1518G3754G846G2564G5207G231610Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.G3107G1377G1752G1343G3754G846G2076G932G377211"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.G3107G2075G3752G3679G5209G2532G1377G2532G2036G3956G4190G4487G2596G5216G5574G1752G170012Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.G5463G2532G21G3754G4183G5216G3408G1722G3772G1063G3779G1377G4396G3588G4253G521613"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.G5210G2075G217G1093G1161G1437G217G3471G1722G5101G233G2089G2480G1519G3762G1508G906G1854G2532G2662G5259G44414"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.G5210G2075G5457G2889G4172G2749G1883G3735G3756G1410G292815Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.G3761G2545G3088G2532G5087G846G5259G3426G235G1909G3087G2532G2989G3956G1722G361416In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.G5216G5457G3779G2989G1715G444G3704G1492G5216G2570G2041G2532G1392G5216G3962G3588G1722G377217"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.G3543G3361G3754G2064G2647G3551G2228G4396G2064G3756G2064G2647G235G413718Truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.G1063G281G3004G5213G2193G302G3772G2532G1093G3928G1520G2503G2228G3391G2762G3364G3928G575G3551G2193G302G3956G109619Anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.G3739G1437G3767G3089G3391G5130G1646G1785G2532G1321G444G3779G2564G1646G1722G932G3772G1161G3739G302G4160G2532G1321G3778G2564G3173G1722G932G377220For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.G1063G3004G5213G3754G3362G5216G1343G4052G4119G1122G2532G5330G3364G1525G1519G932G377221"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'G191G3754G4483G744G5407G3756G5407G1161G3739G302G5407G2071G1777G292022But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca, ' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.G1161G1473G3004G5213G3754G3956G3710G846G80G1500G2071G1777G2920G1161G3739G302G2036G846G80G4469G2071G1777G4892G1161G3739G302G2036G3474G2071G1777G1519G1067G444223"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,G3767G1437G4374G4675G1435G1909G2379G2546G3415G3754G4675G80G2192G5100G2596G467524leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to that person; then come and offer your gift.G863G1563G4675G1435G1715G2379G2532G5217G4412G1259G4675G80G2532G5119G2064G4374G4675G143525"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.G2468G2132G4675G476G5035G2193G3755G1488G1722G3598G3326G846G3379G476G3860G4571G2923G2532G2923G3860G4571G5257G2532G906G1519G543826Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.G281G3004G4671G1831G3364G1831G1564G2193G302G591G2078G283527"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'G191G3754G4483G744G3431G3756G343128But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.G1161G1473G3004G5213G3754G3956G991G1135G4314G1937G846G3431G846G2235G1722G846G258829If 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.G1161G1487G4675G1188G3788G4624G4571G1807G846G1807G2532G906G575G4675G1063G4851G4671G2443G1520G4675G3196G622G2532G3361G4675G3650G4983G906G1519G106730And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.G2532G1487G4675G1188G5495G4624G4571G1581G846G1581G2532G906G575G4675G1063G4851G4671G2443G1520G4675G3196G622G2532G3361G4675G3650G4983G906G1519G106731"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'G1161G4483G3754G3739G302G630G846G1135G1325G846G64732But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.G1161G1473G3004G5213G3754G3739G302G630G846G1135G3924G3056G4202G4160G846G3429G2532G3739G1437G1060G630G342933"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.'G3825G191G3754G4483G744G1964G3756G1964G1161G591G2962G4675G372734But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne;G1161G1473G3004G5213G3660G3361G3654G3383G1722G3772G3754G2076G2316G236235or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.G3383G1722G1093G3754G2076G846G4228G5286G3383G1519G2414G3754G2076G4172G3173G93536And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.G3383G3660G1722G4675G2776G3754G1410G3756G4160G3391G2359G3022G2228G318937All you need to say is simply 'Yes,' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.G1161G2077G5216G3056G2077G3483G3483G3756G3756G1161G4053G5130G2076G1537G419038"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'G191G3754G4483G3788G473G3788G2532G3599G473G359939But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.
