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.

the light of
the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid.

candle, and put it under a
bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in
the house.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a
basket. Instead,
they set it on a stand, and it gives light to
everyone in
the house.

shine before men, that
they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Do not think that I have come to
abolish the Law or
the Prophets. I have not come to
abolish them, but to
fulfill them.
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.
For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single
jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from
the Law until everything is accomplished.
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.
So
then,
whoever breaks one of
the least of
these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in
the kingdom of heaven; but
whoever practices and teaches
them will be called great in
the kingdom of heaven.
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.

the scribes and
Pharisees, you will never enter
the kingdom of heaven.
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:
You have heard that it was said to
the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘
Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
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.
But I tell you that
anyone who is
angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again,
anyone who says to his brother, ‘
Raca,’ will be subject to
the Sanhedrin. But
anyone who says, ‘You
fool!’ will be subject to
the fire of
hell.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
Leave
there thy gift before
the altar, and go thy way; first be
reconciled to thy brother, and
then come and offer thy gift.

there before
the altar. First go and be
reconciled to your brother;
then come and offer your gift.

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.
Reconcile quickly with your
adversary, while you are still on
the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to
the judge, and
the judge may hand you over to
the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid
the last
penny.
Ye have heard that it was said by
them of old time, Thou shalt not commit
adultery:
You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit
adultery.’
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.
If your right eye causes you to sin,
gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into
hell.
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.
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into
hell.

divorced woman commits
adultery.

forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto
the Lord thine oaths:

fulfill your vows to
the Lord.’
Nor by
the earth; for it is his
footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of
the great King.
or by
the earth, for it is His
footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is
the city of
the great King.
Simply let your ‘
Yes’ be ‘
Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from
the evil one.
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.
But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right
cheek, turn to him
the other also;
And if any man will
sue thee at
the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy
cloke also.
if someone wants to
sue you and take your
tunic, let him have your
cloak as well;
and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
Give to him that asketh
thee, and from him that would
borrow of
thee turn not thou away.
Give to
the one who asks you, and do not turn away from
the one who wants to
borrow from you.
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you,
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.
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?
And if ye
salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even
the publicans so?
And if you
greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do
the same?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Take
heed that ye do not your
alms before men, to be seen of
them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
“Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
Therefore when thou doest thine
alms, do not sound a
trumpet before
thee, as
the hypocrites do in
the synagogues and in
the streets, that
they may have glory of men.
Verily I say unto you,
They have
their reward.
So when you give to
the needy, do not sound a
trumpet before you, as
the hypocrites do in
the synagogues and on
the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you,
they already have
their full reward.
But when thou doest
alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
But when you give to
the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
That thine
alms may be in secret: and thy Father which
seeth in secret himself shall reward
thee openly.
so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as
the hypocrites are: for
they love to pray standing in
the synagogues and in
the corners of
the streets, that
they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you,
They have
their reward.
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which
seeth in secret shall reward
thee openly.
But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
And when you pray, do not
babble on like pagans, for
they think that by
their many words
they will be heard.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
After this manner
therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
So
then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
