Matthew 5:1 - Prayer Tents

5Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,G1161G1492G3793G305G1519G3735G2532G846G2523G846G3101G4334G846 2and he began to teach them, saying:G2532G455G846G4750G1321G846G3004 3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.G3107G4434G4151G3754G846G2076G932G3772 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.G3107G3996G3754G846G3870 5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.G3107G4239G3754G846G2816G1093 6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.G3107G3588G3983G2532G1372G1343G3754G846G5526 7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.G3107G1655G3754G846G1653 8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.G3107G2513G2588G3754G846G3700G2316 9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.G3107G1518G3754G846G2564G5207G2316 10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.G3107G1377G1752G1343G3754G846G2076G932G3772 11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.G3107G2075G3752G3679G5209G2532G1377G2532G2036G3956G4190G4487G2596G5216G5574G1752G1700 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.G5463G2532G21G3754G4183G5216G3408G1722G3772G1063G3779G1377G4396G3588G4253G5216 13"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 by men.G5210G2075G217G1093G1161G1437G217G3471G1722G5101G233G2089G2480G1519G3762G1508G906G1854G2532G2662G5259G444 14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.G5210G2075G5457G2889G4172G2749G1883G3735G3756G1410G2928 15Neither 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.G3761G2545G3088G2532G5087G846G5259G3426G235G1909G3087G2532G2989G3956G1722G3614 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.G5216G5457G3779G2989G1715G444G3704G1492G5216G2570G2041G2532G1392G5216G3962G3588G1722G3772 17"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.G3543G3361G3754G2064G2647G3551G2228G4396G2064G3756G2064G2647G235G4137 18I tell you the truth, 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.G1063G281G3004G5213G2193G302G3772G2532G1093G3928G1520G2503G2228G3391G2762G3364G3928G575G3551G2193G302G3956G1096 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same 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.G3739G1437G3767G3089G3391G5130G1646G1785G2532G1321G444G3779G2564G1646G1722G932G3772G1161G3739G302G4160G2532G1321G3778G2564G3173G1722G932G3772 20For 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.G1063G3004G5213G3754G3362G5216G1343G4052G4119G1122G2532G5330G3364G1525G1519G932G3772 21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'G191G3754G4483G744G5407G3756G5407G1161G3739G302G5407G2071G1777G2920 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.G1161G1473G3004G5213G3754G3956G3710G846G80G1500G2071G1777G2920G1161G3739G302G2036G846G80G4469G2071G1777G4892G1161G3739G302G2036G3474G2071G1777G1519G1067G4442 23"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,G3767G1437G4374G4675G1435G1909G2379G2546G3415G3754G4675G80G2192G5100G2596G4675 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.G863G1563G4675G1435G1715G2379G2532G5217G4412G1259G4675G80G2532G5119G2064G4374G4675G1435 25"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.G2468G2132G4675G476G5035G2193G3755G1488G1722G3598G3326G846G3379G476G3860G4571G2923G2532G2923G3860G4571G5257G2532G906G1519G5438 26I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.G281G3004G4671G1831G3364G1831G1564G2193G302G591G2078G2835 27"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'G191G3754G4483G744G3431G3756G3431 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.G1161G1473G3004G5213G3754G3956G991G1135G4314G1937G846G3431G846G2235G1722G846G2588 29If your right eye causes you to sin, 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.G1161G1487G4675G1188G3788G4624G4571G1807G846G1807G2532G906G575G4675G1063G4851G4671G2443G1520G4675G3196G622G2532G3361G4675G3650G4983G906G1519G1067 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, 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.G2532G1487G4675G1188G5495G4624G4571G1581G846G1581G2532G906G575G4675G1063G4851G4671G2443G1520G4675G3196G622G2532G3361G4675G3650G4983G906G1519G1067 31"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'G1161G4483G3754G3739G302G630G846G1135G1325G846G647 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.G1161G1473G3004G5213G3754G3739G302G630G846G1135G3924G3056G4202G4160G846G3429G2532G3739G1437G1060G630G3429 33"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.'G3825G191G3754G4483G744G1964G3756G1964G1161G591G2962G4675G3727 34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne;G1161G1473G3004G5213G3660G3361G3654G3383G1722G3772G3754G2076G2316G2362 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.G3383G1722G1093G3754G2076G846G4228G5286G3383G1519G2414G3754G2076G4172G3173G935 36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.G3383G3660G1722G4675G2776G3754G1410G3756G4160G3391G2359G3022G2228G3189 37Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.G1161G2077G5216G3056G2077G3483G3483G3756G3756G1161G4053G5130G2076G1537G4190 38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'G191G3754G4483G3788G473G3788G2532G3599G473G3599 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.G1161G1473G3004G5213G436G3361G4190G235G3748G4474G4571G1909G4675G1188G4600G4762G846G243G2532 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.G2532G2309G2919G4671G2919G2532G2983G4675G5509G863G846G863G2440G2532 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.G2532G3748G29G4571G29G1520G3400G5217G3326G846G1417 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.G1325G154G4571G2532G2309G1155G575G4675G654G3361G654 43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'G191G3754G4483G25G4675G4139G2532G3404G4675G2190 44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,G1161G1473G3004G5213G25G5216G2190G2127G2672G5209G4160G2573G3404G5209G2532G4336G5228G3588G1908G5209G2532G1377G5209 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.
