5Matthew 5

1And seeing the multitudes, he ascended a mountain: and when he was seated, his disciples came to him.Select Matthew 5:1

2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,Select Matthew 5:2

3Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Select Matthew 5:3

4Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.Select Matthew 5:4

5Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.Select Matthew 5:5

6Blessed [are] they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.Select Matthew 5:6

7Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.Select Matthew 5:7

8Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.Select Matthew 5:8

9Blessed [are] the peace-makers: for they shall be called children of God.Select Matthew 5:9

10Blessed [are] they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Select Matthew 5:10

11Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.Select Matthew 5:11

12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.Select Matthew 5:12

13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.Select Matthew 5:13

14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.Select Matthew 5:14

15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a close vessel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light to all that are in the house.Select Matthew 5:15

16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.Select Matthew 5:16

17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.Select Matthew 5:17

18For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.Select Matthew 5:18

19Whoever 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 whoever shall do, and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.Select Matthew 5:19

20For I say to 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.Select Matthew 5:20

21Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment:Select Matthew 5:21

22But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell-fire.Select Matthew 5:22

23Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee;Select Matthew 5:23

24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.Select Matthew 5:24

25Agree with thy adversary quickly, while 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.Select Matthew 5:25

26Verily, I say to thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.Select Matthew 5:26

27Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:Select Matthew 5:27

28But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.Select Matthew 5:28

29And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, 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.Select Matthew 5:29

30And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, 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.Select Matthew 5:30

31It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:Select Matthew 5:31

32But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of lewdness, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery.Select Matthew 5:32

33Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:Select Matthew 5:33

34But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:Select Matthew 5:34

35Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King,Select Matthew 5:35

36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.Select Matthew 5:36

37But let your communication be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay: for whatever [is] more than these cometh of evil.Select Matthew 5:37

38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.Select Matthew 5:38

39But I say to you, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.Select Matthew 5:39

40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.Select Matthew 5:40

41And whoever shall constrain thee [to go] one mile, go with him two.Select Matthew 5:41

42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.Select Matthew 5:42

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy:Select Matthew 5:43

44But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;Select Matthew 5:44

45That ye may be the children of your Father who [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.Select Matthew 5:45

46For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?Select Matthew 5:46

47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?Select Matthew 5:47

48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.Select Matthew 5:48
