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 if 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;
