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