3BlessedG3107 are the poorG4434 in spiritG3588G4151: forG3754 theirsG846 isG1510 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772. 4BlessedG3107 are they that mournG3996: forG3754 theyG846 shall be comfortedG3870. 5BlessedG3107 are the meekG4239: forG3754 theyG846 shall inheritG2816 the earthG3588G1093. 6BlessedG3107 are they which do hungerG3983 andG2532 thirstG1372 after righteousnessG3588G1343: forG3754 theyG846 shall be filledG5526. 7BlessedG3107 are the mercifulG1655: forG3754 theyG846 shall obtain mercyG1653. 8BlessedG3107 are the pureG2513 in heartG3588G2588: forG3754 theyG846 shall seeG3708 GodG3588G2316. 9BlessedG3107 are the peacemakersG1518: forG3754 theyG846 shall be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316. 10BlessedG3107 are they which are persecutedG1377 forG1752 righteousness’G1343 sakeG1752: forG3754 theirsG846 isG1510 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772. 11BlessedG3107 are yeG1510, whenG3752 men shall revileG3679 youG4771, andG2532 persecuteG1377 you, andG2532 shall sayG3004 all manner ofG3956 evilG4190 againstG2596 youG4771 falselyG5574, forG1752 myG1473 sakeG1752. 12RejoiceG5463, andG2532 be exceeding gladG21: forG3754 greatG4183 is yourG4771 rewardG3588G3408 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772: forG1063 soG3779 persecuted theyG1377 the prophetsG3588G4396 which wereG3588 beforeG4253 youG4771.

13YeG4771 areG1510 the saltG3588G217 of the earthG3588G1093: butG1161 ifG1437 the saltG3588G217 have lost his savourG3471, wherewithG5101 shall it be saltedG233? it isG2480 thenceforthG2089 goodG2480 forG1519 nothingG3762, butG3361 to be castG906 outG1854, andG2532 to be trodden under footG2662 ofG5259 menG3588G444. 14YeG4771 areG1510 the lightG3588G5457 of the worldG3588G2889. A cityG4172 that is setG2749 onG1883 an hillG3735 cannotG1410 be hidG2928. 15NeitherG3761 do men lightG2545 a candleG3088, andG2532 putG5087 itG846 underG5259 a bushelG3588G3426, butG235 onG1909 a candlestickG3588G3087; andG2532 it giveth lightG2989 unto allG3956 that areG3588 inG1722 the houseG3588G3614. 16Let yourG4771 lightG3588G5457 soG3779 shineG2989 beforeG1715 menG3588G444, thatG3704 they may seeG3708 yourG4771 goodG2570 worksG2041, andG2532 glorifyG1392 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962 which isG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772.

17ThinkG3543 notG3361 thatG3754 I am comeG2064 to destroyG2647 the lawG3588G3551, orG2228 the prophetsG3588G4396: I amG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 to destroyG2647, butG235 to fulfilG4137. 18ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, TillG2193 heavenG3588G3772 andG2532 earthG3588G1093 passG3928, oneG1520 jotG2503 orG2228 oneG1520 tittleG2762 shallG3928 in noG3756 wiseG3361 passG3928 fromG575 the lawG3588G3551, tillG2193 allG3956 be fulfilledG1096. 19WhosoeverG3739 thereforeG3767 shall breakG3089 oneG1520 of theseG3778 leastG1646 commandmentsG3588G1785, andG2532 shall teachG1321 menG3588G444 soG3779, he shall be calledG2564 the leastG1646 inG1722 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772: butG1161 whosoeverG3739 shall doG4160 andG2532 teachG1321 them, the sameG3778 shall be calledG2564 greatG3173 inG1722 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772. 20ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 exceptG1437 yourG4771 righteousnessG3588G1343 shall exceedG4052 the righteousness of the scribesG3588G1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, ye shallG1525 in noG3756 caseG3361 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772.
