- Matthew 2:5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
- Matthew 3:15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
- Matthew 5:12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
- Matthew 5:16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
- Matthew 5:19Whosoever 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.
- Matthew 5:47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
- Matthew 6:9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
- Matthew 6:30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
- Matthew 7:12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
- Matthew 7:17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

- Matthew 13:40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
- Matthew 13:49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
- Matthew 17:12But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
- Matthew 18:14Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
