People don’t light a lamp and then put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on a stand so that it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine so that others can see it. Then they’ll see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven.

“You’re the light of the world. A city that’s built on top of a hill can’t be hidden.

Blessed are those who have pure hearts, because they will see God.

Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for justice, because they will be fully satisfied.

But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who hurt you.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

Blessed are those who make peace, because they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.

Blessed are those who suffer for the sake of justice, because the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Blessed are those who show mercy, because they will be shown mercy.

“Blessed are you when, because of me, people insult you and attack you and falsely accuse you of doing all kinds of bad things. Rejoice and be glad, because you have a great reward in heaven. You’re being treated just the way people treated the prophets who lived long ago.

Blessed are those who are humble, because they will inherit the earth.

“You’re the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It’s not good for anything anymore. It has to be thrown out onto the street.

So be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

All you need to say is simply ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ Anything more than that comes from the evil one.

“You’ve heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to retaliate against someone who treats you poorly. Suppose someone slaps you on your right cheek. Then turn your other cheek to them as well.

If your right eye causes you to sin, pull it out and throw it away. It’s better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It’s better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
