Matthew 5:1-16
1WhenG1161 Jesus sawG3708 theG3588 crowdsG3793, He went upG305 onG1519 theG3588 mountainG3735 andG2532 sat downG2523. HisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to HimG846, 2andG2532 He beganG455G3588G846G4750 to teachG1321 themG846, sayingG3004:
11BlessedG3107 are youG1510 whenG3752 people insultG3679 youG4771, persecuteG1377 you, andG2532 falselyG5574 sayG2036 all kinds ofG3956 evilG4190 againstG2596 youG4771 because ofG1752 MeG1473. 12RejoiceG5463 andG2532 be gladG21, becauseG3754 greatG4183 is yourG4771 rewardG3408 inG1722 heavenG3772, forG1063 in the same wayG3779 they persecutedG1377 theG3588 prophetsG4396 beforeG4253 youG4771.
13YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 saltG217 of theG3588 earthG1093. ButG1161 ifG1437 theG3588 saltG217 loses its savorG3471, howG1722G5101 can it be made salty againG233? It is no longer goodG2480G2089 forG1519 anything, exceptG1487G3361 to be thrownG906 outG1854 and trampledG2662 byG5259 menG444.
14YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 lightG5457 of theG3588 worldG2889. A cityG4172 onG1883 a hillG37352 cannotG1410G3756 be hiddenG2928. 15NeitherG3761 do people lightG2545 a lampG3088 andG2532 putG5087 itG846 underG5259 a basketG3426. InsteadG235, they set it onG1909 a standG3087, andG2532 it gives lightG2989 to everyoneG3956 inG1722 theG3588 houseG3614. 16In the same wayG3779, letG3588 yourG4771 lightG5457 shineG2989 beforeG1715 menG444, thatG3704 they may seeG3708 yourG4771 goodG2570 deedsG2041 andG2532 glorifyG1392 yourG4771 FatherG3962 inG1722 heavenG3772.
