  Matthewchapter 5

   1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a
  mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came
  unto him:
   2 And 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 they that mourn: for they shall be
  comforted.
   5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the
  earth.
   6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after
  righteousness: for they shall be filled.
   7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain
  mercy.
   8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see
  God.
   9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be
  called the children of God.
  10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for
  righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of
  heaven.
  11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and
  persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil
  against you falsely, for my sake.
  12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your
  reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets
  which were before you.
  13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have
  lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is
  thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and
  to be trodden under foot of men.
  14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set
  on an hill cannot be hid.
  15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
  bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light
  unto all that are in the house.
  16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may
  see your good works, and glorify your Father which is
  in heaven.
  17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or
  the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
  fulfil.
  18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
  pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass
  from the law, till all be fulfilled.
  19 Whosoever 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.
  20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
  shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and
  Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom
  of heaven.
  21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old
  time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill
  shall be in danger of the judgment:
  22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with
  his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the
  judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother,
  Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but
  whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of
  hell fire.
  23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and
  there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against
  thee;
  24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy
  way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then
  come and offer thy gift.
  25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou
  art in the way with him; lest at any time the
  adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge
  deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into
  prison.
  26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means
  come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost
  farthing.
  27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old
  time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
  28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a
  woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with
  her already in his heart.
  29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out,
  and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee
  that one of thy members should perish, and not that
  thy whole body should be cast into hell.
  30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and
  cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that
  one of thy members should perish, and not that thy
  whole body should be cast into hell.
  31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his
  wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
  32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away
  his wife, saving for the cause of fornication,
  causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall
  marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
  33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by
  them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
  but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
  34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by
  heaven; for it is God's throne:
  35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither
  by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
  36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
  canst not make one hair white or black.
  37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
  for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
  38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for
  an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
  39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but
  whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
  to him the other also.
  40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take
  away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
  41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go
  with him twain.
  42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that
  would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
  43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt
  love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
  44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them
  that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and
  pray for them which despitefully use you, and
  persecute you;
  45 That ye may be the children of your Father which
  is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the
  evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just
  and on the unjust.
  46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward
  have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
  47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye
  more than others? do not even the publicans so?
  48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which
  is in heaven is perfect.
