No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a bucket. No, it's placed on a lamp-stand and it provides light to everyone in the house. In the same way you should let your light shine before everyone so they can see the good things you do and praise your heavenly Father.

You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill can't be hidden.

Blessed are those who have pure minds, for they will see God.

Blessed are those whose greatest desire is to do what is right, for they will be satisfied.

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

“Blessed are those who recognize they are spiritually poor, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Blessed are those who work to bring peace, for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are those persecuted for what is right, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Blessed are those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and accuse you of all kinds of evil things because of me. Be glad, be really glad, for you will receive a great reward in heaven—for they persecuted the prophets who came before you in just the same way.

Blessed are those who are kind for they will own the whole world.

You've heard that the law said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you, don't resist someone who is evil. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other cheek to them as well.

If your right eye leads you to sin, then tear it out and throw it away, because it's better to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into the fire of Gehenna. If your right hand leads you to sin, then cut it off and throw it away, for it's better for you to lose one of your limbs than for your whole body to go into the fire of Gehenna.
