Jesus Christ » History of » Delivers the "sermon on the mount" (in galilee)
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye who hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from them, and shall revile you, and shall cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. read more.
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for, lo! your reward is great in heaven: for after the same manner did your fathers to the prophets. But wo unto you who are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Wo unto you who are full! for ye shall hunger. Wo unto you who laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. Wo unto you, when men shall speak well of you! for just so did their fathers of the false prophets. But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you; bless those who curse you, and pray for those who wantonly insult you. To him that smiteth thee on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who would take from thee thy cloak, withhold not thy coat also. And give to every one that asketh thee; and from him who would take thy goods, demand them not again. And as ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them in like manner.

But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Most High; for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the wicked. Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate. And judge not, that ye be not judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: give, and there shall be given unto you; good measure pressed down, and shook, and running over, shall they give into your lap. For with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured back to you again. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? will they not both fall into the pit? The disciple is not above his teacher; but every one who is completely taught shall be as his master. But why beholdest thou the mote which is in thy brother's eye, but observest not the beam which is in thine own eye? Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, permit me to take off the mote which is on thine eye, not seeing thyself the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! cast out the beam which is in thine eye, and then shalt thou see distinctly to take off the mote which is in thy brother's eye. For there is no good tree which produceth fruit of a bad quality; neither doth a tree of a bad sort produce good fruit. Every tree is known by its own peculiar fruit. For men do not gather figs from off thorns, nor do they gather from the bramble a bunch of grapes. A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, produceth what is good; and a wicked man, from the evil treasure in his heart, produceth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Every one who cometh to me, and heareth my words, and puts them in practice, I will shew you to whom he is like: he is like to a man, building a house, who digged, and sunk deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and when there was a flood, the river rushed violently against that house, and was not of force to shake it, for it was founded on a rock. But he that heareth, and doth not practice, is like a man who built his house on the earth without a foundation; against which the river rushed violently, and immediately it fell; and the crash of the fall of that house was great.
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for, lo! your reward is great in heaven: for after the same manner did your fathers to the prophets.

Render to no man evil for evil. Be provident of things laudable in the sight of all men. If possible, as far as you can, be at peace with all men. Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, "Vengeance belongeth to me; I will recompence, saith the Lord." read more.

Sermon » Of jesus, "on the plain,"
And coming down with them, he stood on a level spot: and the crowd of his disciples, and a vast multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; and they who were disturbed with unclean spirits: and they were cured. And all the multitude strove to touch him, for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. read more.

LET every soul be subject to the superior powers: for there is no power but from God; the existing powers are appointed by God. Wherefore he that sets himself against authority, resists the ordinance of God: and they who resist shall receive to themselves condemnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from it:
