Matthew 5:1-7:29 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain; and he having sat down, his disciples came to him.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain; and he having sat down, his disciples came to him. ² And having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying, ³ Happy the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of the heavens. ⁴ Happy they suffering: for they shall be comforted. ⁵ Happy the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. ⁶ Happy they hungering and thirsting for Justice: for they shall be filled. ⁷ Happy the compasaionate: for they shall be commiserated. ⁸ Happy the pure in heart: tor they shall see God. ⁹ Happy they making peace: for they shall be called sons of God. ¹⁰ Happy they driven out for justice: for their's is the kingdom of the heavens. ¹¹ Happy are ye, when they shall upbraid you, and drive you out, and say every evil word against you, lying, for my sake. ¹² Rejoice and be transported with joy; for much your reward in the heavens for so they drove out the prophets which before you. ¹³ Ye are the salt of the earth: and if the salt be rendered insipid, with what shall it be salted? it is yet strong for nothing, except to be cast without, and to be trodden under foot of men. ¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid, set on a mountain. ¹⁵ Neither do they burn a light, and set it under a basket, but upon a chandelier: and it shines to all in the house. ¹⁶ So let your light shine before men, that they see your good works, and praise your Father, him in the heavens. ¹⁷ Think not that I have come to abolish the law, or the prophets: for I have come not abolish, but to complete. ¹⁸ For verily I say to you, Till heaven pass away, and earth, one iota, or one mark, should not pass away from the law, till all should be ¹⁹ Whoever therefore, should loose one of the least of these commands, and so teach men, he shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whoever should do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. ²⁰ For I say to you, That except your justice abound more than the scribes and Pharisees, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens. ²¹ Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill: and whoever should kill shall be subject to judgment: ²² But I say to you, That every one becoming angry with his brother, shall be subject to judgment: and whoever should say to his brother, Raca, should be, subject to the council: and whoever should say, O foolish, shall be subject to a hell of fire. ²³ If therefore, thou bring thy gift upon the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother has anything against thee, ²⁴ Let go there thy gift, before the altar, and retire; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then, having come, bring thy gift. ²⁵ Be kindly disposed to thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, lest thy opponent should deliver thee to the judge, and the judge should deliver thee to the assistant, and thou be cast into prison. ²⁶ Verily I say to thee, Thou shouldst not come out thence, even till, thou shouldst give back the last fourth. ²⁷ Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit adultery: ²⁸ But I say to you, That every one seeing a woman, to eagerly desire her, has already committed adultery with her, in his heart. ²⁹ And if thine eye give thee cause of offence, take it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members be destroyed, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. ³⁰ And if thy right hand give thee cause of offence, cut it off, and cast from thee; for it is profitable to thee, that one of thy members should be destroyed; and not thy whole body should be cast into hell. ³¹ And it was said, That whosoever should loose his wife, let him give her a repudiation. ³² But I say to you, That whosoever shall let go his wife except for the reason of adultery, makes her to commit adultery; and whosoever should marry her having been loosed, commits adultery. ³³ Again, ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear a false oath, and thou shalt. return to the Lord thine oaths. ³⁴ But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, it is the throne of God: ³⁵ Neither by the earth; for it is the footstool of his feet: neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great kings ³⁶ Neither shouldst thou swear by thy head, for thou cant not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your word be Yea, yea, and No, no: but that above this is of evil. ³⁸ Ye have heard, that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: ³⁹ But I say to you not to resist evil: but whosoever shall smite thee with a rod upon thy right cheek, turn to him also the other. ⁴⁰ And to him wishing to be judged with thee, and to take thy coat, let go to him also thy garment. ⁴¹ And whoever shall compel thee to carry dispatches one mile, go forward with him two. ⁴² To him asking thee, give thou, and him wishing to borrow from thee, thou shouldst not turn away. ⁴³ Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies, praise them cursing you, do well to them hating you, and pray for them threatening you, and driving you out. ⁴⁵ So that ye might be sons of your Father, which in the heavens: for he makes his sun rise upon evil and good, and rains on the just and unjust. ⁴⁶ For if ye love them loving you, what reward. have you? do not also the tax collectors the same? ⁴⁷ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye above ordinary? and do not the tax collectors the same? ⁴⁸ Therefore, be ye perfected, as your Father which is in the heavens is perfected. ⁶ ¹ Attend ye not to do your justice before men, to be seen to them; and if otherwise ye have no reward from your Father which in the heavens. ² When therefore thou doest alms, thou shouldst not sound the trumpet before thee, as hypocrites do in the assemblies, and in the streets, that they might be praised by men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward. ³ But thou doing alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right does: ⁴ That thine alms might be in secret; and thy Father, who seeing in secret, shall give back to thee openly. ⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love in the assemblies, and in the corners of the broad ways to stand praying, so that they might appear to men. Verily I say to you, that they have their reward. ⁶ But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy store-house, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father which in secret; and thy Father who seeing in secret shall give back to thee openly. ⁷ And praying, talk ye not vainly as the nations; for they think that by their profaneness of speech they shall be listened to. ⁸ Therefore make not yourselves like them: for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye ask him. ⁹ Therefore so do ye pray: Our Father which in the heavens, Let thy name be declared holy. ¹⁰ Let thy kingdom come. Let thy will be as in heaven also upon the earth. ¹¹ Give us this day our bread sufficient for sustenance. ¹² And let go to us our debts, as we let go to our debtors. ¹³ And thou shouldst not lead us into temptation, but deliver thou us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. ¹⁴ For if ye let go to men their faults, your Father which in the heavens will also let go to you. ¹⁵ But if ye should not let go to men their faults, neither will your Father let go your faults. ¹⁶ And when ye fast, be not, as hypocrites, of gloomy aspect: for they conceal their faces that they might appear to men fasting. Verily I say to you, That they have their reward. ¹⁷ And thou fasting, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; ¹⁸ That thou mightest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father which in secret; and thy Father which in secret, will give back to thee openly. ¹⁹ Treasure not up to you treasures upon earth, where moth and gnawing destroy, and thieves dig through and steal: ²⁰ But treasure to you treasures in heaven, where neither moth, nor gnawing destroy; and where thieves dig not through, nor steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ²² The light of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be light. ²³ But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be dark. If therefore the light which in thee is darkness, how much the darkness ²⁴ None can serve two lords: for either he will hate one and love the other; or hold firmly to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ²⁵ For this I say to you, Be not anxious about your soul, what ye eat, and what ye drink; nor about your body, what ye put on. Is not the soul more than food, and the body than dress? ²⁶ Look ye upon the fowls of heaven; for they neither sow, nor reap, nor collect into stores; and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Do ye not rather differ from them ²⁷ Which of you, being anxious, can add one cubit to his size? ²⁸ And about dress, why are ye anxious? Consider the white lilies of the field, how they grow; they are not wearied, neither do they spin: ²⁹ And I say to you that neither Solomon in all his glory was surrounded as one of these. ³⁰ And if the grass of the field, being this day, and to morrow cast into the furnace, God so clothes much rather you, ye of little faith! ³¹ Therefore be ye not anxious, saying: What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, What shall we put round us? ³² For all these the nations seek for; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these shall be added to you. ³⁴ Therefore should ye not be anxious about the morrow: for the morrow shall be anxious about the things of itself. Sufficient for the day its evil. ⁷ ¹ Judge not, that ye be not judged. ² For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye measure, it shall be repaid to you. ³ And why seest thou the mote which is in thy brother's eye, and the beam in thine eye thou observest not? ⁴ Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let go I will cast out the mote from thine eye: and behold a beam in thine eye. ⁵ Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam from thine eye, and thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote from thy brother's eye. ⁶ Ye should not give the holy thing to dogs neither should ye cast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them down with their feet, and having turned, should rend yon. ⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone asking, receives and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking shall be opened. ⁹ Or what man is of you, which, if his son ask bread, he will not give him a stone? ¹⁰ And if he ask a fish, he will not give him a serpent? ¹¹ If ye, therefore, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children how much more will your Father which is in the heavens give good things to those asking him? ¹² Therefore all whatever ye would that men should do to you, so also do ye to them; for this is the law and the prophets. ¹³ Enter ye in through the strait gate, for broad the gate and spacious the way leading to destruction, and many are they coming in through it. ¹⁴ For strait the gate and afflicted the way leading into life, and few are they finding it. ¹⁵ And hold from false prophets which come in to you in sheep's dresses, but within they are rapacious wolves. ¹⁶ By their fruits shall ye know them. Far from it, do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from caltrops ¹⁷ So every good tree makes good fruits; but the rotten tree makes evil fruits. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot make evil fruits, nor a rotten tree make good fruits. ¹⁹ Every tree not making good fruit is cut off, and cast into fire. ²⁰ Wherefore from their fruits shall ye know them. ²¹ Not every one saying to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens; but he doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. ²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name have we cast out evil spirits, and in thy name done many powers? ²³ And then shall I confess to them that I never knew you. Go away from me, ye working iniqnity. ²⁴ Therefore, every one which hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a discerning man which built his house upon the rock. ²⁵ And the rain descended, and rivers came, and winds blew, and fell upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded upon the rock. ²⁶ And every one hearing these my words and doing them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, which built his house upon sand. ²⁷ And the rain descended, and rivers came, and winds blew and struck upon that house, and it fell, and great was its fall. ²⁸ And it was when Jesus finished these words, the crowds were struck with amazement at his teaching: ²⁹ For he was teaching them as having power, and not as the scribes.
