Matthew 5

The Beatitudes
1When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will receive mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you when others reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt loses its flavor, with what shall it be seasoned? It is no longer fit for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden, 15nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines for all who are in the house. 16Let your light shine before others in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Christ Fulfills the Law and the Prophets
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter or stroke of a letter will by any means pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19Therefore whoever does away with one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Anger
21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not murder,’ and, ‘Whoever murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22But I say to you that everyone who is #5:22 rashly 95.4% ¦ --- CT 1.9%rashly angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Yoʋ idiot,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. And whoever says, ‘Yoʋ fool,’ will be subject to the fires of hell. 23So if yoʋ are offering yoʋr gift at the altar and there remember that yoʋr brother has something against yoʋ, 24leave yoʋr gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to yoʋr brother, and then come and offer yoʋr gift. 25Make friends with yoʋr adversary quickly while yoʋ are on the way with him, lest yoʋr adversary hand yoʋ over to the judge, and the judge #5:25 hand yoʋ over ¦ --- CThand yoʋ over to the guard, and yoʋ be thrown into prison. 26Truly I say to yoʋ, yoʋ will certainly not come out of there until yoʋ have paid the last penny.
Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was #5:27 said ¦ said to those of old ANT TRsaid, ‘Yoʋ shall not commit adultery.’ 28But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29So if yoʋr right eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if yoʋr right hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to #5:30 be thrown ¦ go CTbe thrown into hell.
Divorce
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32But I say to you that #5:32 whoever ¦ anyone who CTwhoever divorces his wife, apart from a matter of fornication, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not break an oath, but shall keep yoʋr oaths to the Lord.’ 34But I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; 35nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36Neither shall yoʋ swear by yoʋr head, for yoʋ cannot make one hair white or black. 37But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No’; for whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
Retaliation
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil. Rather, if anyone slaps yoʋ on #5:39 the ¦ yoʋr BYZ HF NA TR WHthe right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40If anyone wants to sue yoʋ and take away yoʋr tunic, let him have yoʋr cloak also. 41And if anyone presses yoʋ into service for one mile, go with him two. 42Give to him who asks of yoʋ, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from yoʋ.
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor and hate yoʋr enemy.’ 44But I say to you, love your enemies, #5:44 bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, 90% {TR 1.2%} ¦ --- CT 0.8%bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who #5:44 mistreat you and 87.6% ¦ --- CT 0.8%mistreat you and persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your #5:47 friends ¦ brothers CT TRfriends, what are you doing that is out of the ordinary? Do not even the #5:47 tax collectors do that 76.6% ¦ Gentiles do the same CT 3.7%tax collectors do that? 48You therefore shall be perfect, just as your #5:48 Father in heaven ¦ heavenly Father CTFather in heaven is perfect.
