5 And seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the meek,[fn] for they themselves will inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 “Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you say every evil [word][fn] against you [falsely] on my account.
12 “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward is great in the heavens; for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt becomes foolish,[fn] with what will it be salted? It is good for nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hidden when it is set on a hill; 15 nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 “In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good [works][fn] and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the law or the prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota or one stroke will pass from the law until [when][fn] all is accomplished.
19 “Whoever, therefore, breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens[; but whoever does and teaches them, this one will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens].[fn]
20 [“For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of the heavens.][fn]
21 “You have heard that it was said to the elders,[fn] ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’[fn] 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with their brother [[without cause]][fn] will be liable to judgment; whoever says to their brother, ‘Raca,’[fn] will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to the hell[fn] of fire.
23 “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 “Be quick to settle matters with your adversary, while you are still with him on the way, lest your adversary hand you over to the judge, and the judge [[hand you over]][fn] to the officer, and you be thrown into prison; 26 truly, I say to you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
27 “You have heard that it was said [[to the elders]],[fn] ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[fn] 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 “But if your right eye causes you to stumble, remove it and throw it away from you; for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be thrown into Gehenna.[fn]
30 [“And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should go into Gehenna. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body {go into hell}.][fn][fn]
32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the elders,[fn] ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall fulfill to the Lord your oaths.’[fn] 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all; neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King, 36 nor shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your word be ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything more than this is from the evil one.
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’[fn] 39 But I say to you, do not resist the evil one; but whoever {strikes}[fn] you on {the}[fn] right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40 and if anyone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well; 41 and whoever forces you to go one mile,[fn] go with him two. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’[fn] 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, [[bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you,]][fn] and pray for those who [[mistreat you and]][fn] persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in the heavens; for he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do {the same}?[fn] 47 And if you greet your {brothers}[fn] only, what more are you doing? Do not even the {Gentiles}[fn] do {the same}?[fn]
48 “Therefore, you shall be perfect, [[just]][fn] as your {heavenly Father}[fn] is perfect.”
