1And
seeing the
multitudes,
he went up
into a
mountain:
and when he
was set, his
disciples
came unto
him:
2And
he opened
his mouth,
and taught
them,
saying,
3Blessed are the
poor in
spirit: for
theirs is
the kingdom
of heaven.
4Blessed are they
that mourn:
for they
shall be
comforted.
5Blessed are the
meek: for
they shall
inherit the
earth.
6Blessed are they
which do
hunger and
thirst after
righteousness:
for they
shall be
filled.
7Blessed are the
merciful:
for they
shall obtain
mercy.
8Blessed are the
pure in
heart: for
they shall
see God.
9Blessed are the
peacemakers:
for they
shall be
called the
children of
God.
10Blessed are they
which are
persecuted
for
righteousness'
sake: for
theirs is
the kingdom
of heaven.
11Blessed
are ye,
when men shall
revile you,
and
persecute you,
and shall
say all
manner of
evil against
you falsely,
for my sake.
12Rejoice,
and be
exceeding
glad: for
great is your
reward in
heaven: for
so
persecuted
they the
prophets
which were
before you.
13Ye
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.
14Ye
are the
light of the
world. A
city that is
set on an
hill cannot
be hid.
15Neither
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.
16Let
your light
so shine
before men,
that they
may see your
good works,
and glorify
your Father
which is in
heaven.
17Think
not that I
am come to
destroy the
law, or the
prophets: I
am not come
to destroy,
but to
fulfil.
18For
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.
19Whosoever
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.
20For
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.
21Ye
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:
22But
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.
23Therefore
if thou
bring thy
gift to the
altar, and
there
rememberest
that thy
brother hath
ought
against
thee;
24Leave
there thy
gift before
the altar,
and go thy
way; first
be
reconciled
to thy
brother, and
then come
and offer
thy gift.
25Agree
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.
26Verily
I say unto
thee, Thou
shalt by no
means come
out thence,
till thou
hast paid
the
uttermost
farthing.
27Ye
have heard
that it was
said by them
of old time,
Thou shalt
not commit
adultery:
28But
I say unto
you, That
whosoever
looketh on a
woman to
lust after
her hath
committed
adultery
with her
already in
his heart.
29And
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.
30And
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.
31It
hath been
said,
Whosoever
shall put
away his
wife, let
him give her
a writing of
divorcement:
32But
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.
33Again,
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:
34But
I say unto
you, Swear
not at all;
neither by
heaven; for
it is God's
throne:
35Nor
by the
earth; for
it is his
footstool:
neither by
Jerusalem;
for it is
the city of
the great
King.
36Neither
shalt thou
swear by thy
head,
because thou
canst not
make one
hair white
or black.
37But
let your
communication
be, Yea,
yea; Nay,
nay: for
whatsoever
is more than
these cometh
of evil.
38Ye
have heard
that it hath
been said,
An eye for
an eye, and
a tooth for
a tooth:
39But
I say unto
you, That ye
resist not
evil: but
whosoever
shall smite
thee on thy
right cheek,
turn to him
the other
also.
40And
if any man
will sue
thee at the
law, and
take away
thy coat,
let him
have thy cloke
also.
41And
whosoever
shall compel
thee to go a
mile, go
with him
twain.
42Give
to him that
asketh thee,
and from him
that would
borrow of
thee turn
not thou
away.
43Ye
have heard
that it hath
been said,
Thou shalt
love thy
neighbour,
and hate
thine enemy.
44But
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;
45That
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.
46For
if ye love
them which
love you,
what reward
have ye? do
not even the
publicans
the same?
47And
if ye salute
your
brethren
only, what
do ye more than
others?
do not even
the
publicans
so?
48Be
ye therefore
perfect,
even as your
Father which
is in heaven
is perfect.
