| Mat
5:1 |
And seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples
came unto him: |
| Mat
5:2 |
And he opened his mouth,
and taught them, saying, |
| Mat
5:3 |
Blessed [are] the poor
in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| Mat
5:4 |
Blessed [are] they that
mourn: for they shall be comforted. |
| Mat
5:5 |
Blessed [are] the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth. |
| Mat
5:6 |
Blessed [are] they which
do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be
filled. |
| Mat
5:7 |
Blessed [are] the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy. |
| Mat
5:8 |
Blessed [are] the pure
in heart: for they shall see God. |
| Mat
5:9 |
Blessed [are] the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God. |
| Mat
5:10 |
Blessed [are] they which
are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven. |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
5:12 |
Rejoice, and be exceeding
glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted
they the prophets which were before you. |
| Mat
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. |
| Ma
5:14 |
Ye are the light of the
world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
5:16 |
Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify
your Father which is in heaven. |
| Mat
5:17 |
Think not that I am come
to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfil. |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
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: |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
5:23 |
Therefore if thou bring
thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother
hath ought against thee; |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
5:26 |
Verily I say unto thee,
Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid
the uttermost farthing. |
| Mat
5:27 |
Ye have heard that it
was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
5:31 |
It hath been said, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
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: |
| Mat
5:34 |
But I say unto you, Swear
not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: |
| Mat
5:35 |
Nor by the earth; for
it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city
of the great King. |
| Mat
5:36 |
Neither shalt thou swear
by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or
black. |
| Mat
5:37 |
But let your communication
be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh
of evil. |
| Mat
5:38 |
Ye have heard that it
hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
5:40 |
And if any man will sue
thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy]
cloke also. |
| Mat
5:41 |
And whosoever shall compel
thee to go a mile, go with him twain. |
| Mat
5:42 |
Give to him that asketh
thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou
away. |
| Mat
5:43 |
Ye have heard that it
hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine
enemy. |
| Mat
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; |
| Mat
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. |
| Mat
5:46 |
For if ye love them which
love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the
same? |
| Mat
5:47 |
And if ye salute your
brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the
publicans so? |
| Mat
5:48 |
Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. |
