Matthew 5

1And seeingG3708 the multitudesG3793, he wentG305 up into the mountainG3735: and when he had satG2523 downG2523, his disciplesG3101 cameG4334 unto him: 2and he openedG455 his mouthG4750 and taughtG1321 them, sayingG3004,

3Blessed areG1510 the poorG4434 in spiritG4151: for theirs isG1510 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.

4Blessed are they that mournG3996: for they shall be comfortedG3870.

5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inheritG2816 the earthG1093.

6Blessed are they that hungerG3983 and thirstG1372 after righteousnessG1343: for they shall be filledG5526.

7Blessed are the mercifulG1655: for they shall obtain mercyG1653.

8Blessed are the pureG2513 in heartG2588: for they shall seeG3708 GodG2316.

9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be calledG2564 sonsG5207 of GodG2316.

10Blessed areG1510 they that have beenG1510 persecutedG1377 for righteousness’ sakeG1752: for theirs isG1510 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 11Blessed areG1510 ye whenG3752 men shall reproach you, and persecuteG1377 you, and sayG3004 all manner of evilG4190 against you falsely, for my sakeG1752. 12RejoiceG5463, and be exceeding gladG5463: for greatG4183 is your rewardG3408 in heavenG3772: for so persecutedG1377 they the prophetsG4396 that were before you.

13Ye areG1510 the saltG217 of the earthG1093: but if the saltG217 have lost its savor, wherewith shall it beG1510 saltedG233? it isG1510 thenceforth good for nothing, but to beG1510 castG906 out and trodden under foot of menG444. 14Ye areG1510 the lightG5457 of the worldG2889. A cityG4172 setG2749 on a hillG3735 cannot beG1510 hidG2928. 15Neither do men light a lampG3088, and putG5087 it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the houseG3614. 16EvenG2532 so let your lightG5457 shineG2989 before menG444; that they may seeG3708 your goodG2570 worksG2041, and glorifyG1392 your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

17ThinkG3543 not that I cameG2064 to destroyG2647 the lawG3551 or the prophetsG4396: I cameG2064 not to destroyG2647, but to fulfil. 18For verily I sayG3004 unto you, Till heavenG3772 and earthG1093 passG3928 awayG3928, oneG1520 jot or oneG1520 tittle shall in no wise passG3928 awayG3928 from the lawG3551, till all thingsG3956 be accomplished. 19Whosoever thereforeG3767 shall breakG3089 oneG1520 of these leastG1646 commandmentsG1785, and shall teachG1321 menG444 so, shall be calledG2564 leastG1646 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772: but whosoever shall do and teachG1321 them, he shall be calledG2564 greatG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 20For I sayG3004 unto you, that except your righteousnessG1343 shall exceed the righteousnessG1343 of the scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, ye shall in no wise enterG1525 into the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.

21Ye have heardG191 that it wasG1510 said to them of oldG744 time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall beG1510 in danger of the judgmentG2920: 22but I sayG3004 unto you, that every oneG3739 who isG1510 angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall beG1510 in danger of the judgmentG2920; and whosoever shall sayG3004 to his brotherG80, Raca, shall beG1510 in danger of the councilG4892; and whosoever shall sayG3004, Thou fool, shall beG1510 in danger of the hellG1067 of fireG4442. 23If thereforeG3767 thou art offering thy giftG1435 at the altarG2379, and there rememberest that thy brotherG80 hath aught against thee, 24leaveG863 there thy giftG1435 before the altarG2379, and goG5217 thy way, firstG4413 be reconciled to thy brotherG80, and then comeG2064 and offerG4374 thy giftG1435. 25Agree with thine adversaryG476 quicklyG5035, while thou art with him in the wayG3598; lest haply the adversaryG476 deliverG3860 thee to the judgeG2923, and the judgeG2923 deliverG3860 thee to the officerG5257, and thou beG1510 castG906 into prisonG5438. 26Verily I sayG3004 unto thee, Thou shalt by no means comeG1831 out thence, till thou have paidG591 the lastG2078 farthing.

27Ye have heardG191 that it was said, Thou shalt not commitG3431 adulteryG3431: 28but I sayG3004 unto you, that every one that looketh on a womanG1135 to lust after her hath committedG3431 adulteryG3431 with her alreadyG2235 in his heartG2588. 29And if thy rightG1188 eyeG3788 causeth thee to stumbleG4624, pluck it out, and castG906 it from thee: for it is profitableG4851 for thee that oneG1520 of thy membersG3196 should perishG622, and not thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 be castG906 into hellG1067. 30And if thy rightG1188 handG5495 causeth thee to stumbleG4624, cutG1581 it off, and castG906 it from thee: for it is profitableG4851 for thee that oneG1520 of thy membersG3196 should perishG622, and not thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 goG565 into hellG1067. 31It was said alsoG1161, Whosoever shall put awayG630 his wifeG1135, let him giveG1325 her a writing of divorcement: 32but I sayG3004 unto you, that every oneG3739 that putteth awayG630 his wifeG1135, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marryG1060 her when she is put awayG630 committeth adulteryG3431.

33AgainG3825, ye have heardG191 that it was said to them of oldG744 time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the LordG2962 thine oathsG3727: 34but I sayG3004 unto you, SwearG3660 not at all; neither by the heavenG3772, for it isG1510 the throneG2362 of GodG2316; 35nor by the earthG1093, for it isG1510 the footstoolG5286 of his feetG4228; nor by JerusalemG2414, for it isG1510 the cityG4172 of the greatG3173 KingG935. 36Neither shalt thou swearG3660 by thy headG2776, for thou canst not makeG4160 oneG1520 hairG2359 whiteG3022 or blackG3189. 37But let your speechG3056 beG1510, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever isG1510 more than these isG1510 of the evilG4190 oneG3778.

38Ye have heardG191 that it was said, An eyeG3788 for an eyeG3788, and a toothG3599 for a toothG3599: 39but I sayG3004 unto you, ResistG436 not him that is evilG4190: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 to him the otherG243 alsoG2532. 40And if any man would go to lawG2919 with thee, and takeG2983 away thy coat, let him have thy cloakG2440 alsoG2532. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to goG5217 oneG1520 mile, goG5217 with him twoG1417. 42GiveG1325 to him that asketh thee, and from him that wouldG2309 borrow of thee turnG654 not thou awayG654.

43Ye have heardG191 that it was said, Thou shalt loveG25 thy neighbor, and hateG3404 thine enemyG2190: 44but I sayG3004 unto you, LoveG25 your enemiesG2190, and prayG4336 for them that persecuteG1377 you; 45that ye may be sonsG5207 of your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772: for he maketh his sunG2246 to rise on the evilG4190 and the goodG18, and sendeth rainG1026 on the justG1342 and the unjustG94. 46For if ye loveG25 them that loveG25 you, what rewardG3408 have ye? do not evenG2532 the publicans the sameG846? 47And if ye salute your brethren onlyG3440, what do ye more than others? do not evenG2532 the Gentiles the sameG846? 48Ye thereforeG3767 shall beG1510 perfectG5046, as your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 isG1510 perfectG5046.
