"Think not that I came to destroy the law, or the prophets; I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.

"Ye are the light of the world: a city, set upon a hill, cannot he hid.

"Ye are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing, except, when cast without, to be trodden under foot by men.

So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Who is in Heaven.

"Happy are the merciful: because they shall receive mercy.

"Happy are the poor in spirit; because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

And, seeing the multitudes, He went up into the mountain; and, He having sat down, His disciples came to Him:

"Ye heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'

"Happy are the peacemakers; because they shall be called sons of God.

"Ye heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy;'

"Ye heard that it was said to the ancients, 'You shall not kill; and whosoever kills shall be in danger of the judgment.'

"Ye heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,'

For verily I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.

"Happy are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness: because they shall be filled.

"Happy are the pure in heart; because they shall see God.

But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever says to his brother Raca shall be in danger of the high-council; and whosoever shall say, O foolish one! shall be in danger of the Hell of fire.

"Happy are the meek: because they shall inherit the earth.

If, therefore, you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has ought against you,

"Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake; because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

"And it was said, 'Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;'

"Happy are ye, when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.

"Happy are those who mourn: because they shall be comforted,

but I say to you, that every one who puts away his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her commit adultery: and whosoever marries her when put away commits adultery.

but I say to you, Resist not the evil man; but whosoever smites you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

For I say to you that, unless your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

"And, if your right eye is causing you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be cast into Hell.

"Again ye heard that it was said to the ancients, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord your oaths;"

that ye may be sons of your Father Who is in Heaven; because He causeth His sun to rise on evil men and on good, and sendeth rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

"And, if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body go away into Hell.

Verily I say to you, in no wise shall you come out thence, till you pay the last farthing.

But let your speech be, 'Yes, yes;' 'No, no;' and what is more than these is of the evil one.

For, if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax-collectors the same?

but I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by Heaven, because it is God's throne;

and, opening His mouth, He taught them, saying,

Rejoice, and exult; because great is your reward in Heaven, for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
