Matthew 5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him. ² And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, ³ Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Blessed [are] the meek: for they all inherit the earth. ⁵ Blessed [are] they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. ⁶ Blessed [are] they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled, ⁷ Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. ⁸ Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God. ⁹ Blessed [are] the peace-makers: for they shall be called the children of God. ¹⁰ Blessed [are] they who are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs shall be the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men shall persecute and revile you, and shall say all manner of evil against you for my sake. ¹² Rejoyce, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you. ¹³ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be troden underfoot of men. ¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. ¹⁵ Neither do they light a candle, and put it under a bushel: but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light so thine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorifie your Father who is in the heavens. ¹⁷ Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to perfect [them]. ¹⁸ 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 done. ¹⁹ 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: ²⁰ For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven. ²¹ Ye have heard, that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill: and whosoever shall kill, shall be lyable to the judgment. ²² But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be lyable to the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be lyable to the sanhedrim: but whosoever shalt say, Thou fool, shall be lyable to gehenna of fire. ²³ Therefore, if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there shalt remember that thy brother hath ought against thee; ²⁴ Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then thou shalt come and offer thy gift. ²⁵ Agree with thine adversary quickly, whilst 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. ²⁶ Verily, I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou shalt have paid the uttermost farthing. ²⁷ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery. ²⁸ But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart, ²⁹ And if thy right eye cause thee to offend, 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 go away into Gehenna. ³⁰ [OMITTED TEXT] ³¹ It hath been said, Whoever shalt put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. ³² But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery. ³³ Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shall perform unto the Lord thine Oaths. ³⁴ But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is Gods throne: ³⁵ Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. ³⁶ Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your communication be Yes, yes; No, no: for whatsoever [is] more than these, cometh of the evil one. ³⁸ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. ³⁹ But I say unto you, that ye resist not a wicked [man]: but whosoever will smite thee on thy cheek, turn to him the other also. ⁴⁰ To him that will sue thee at law, and take away thy coat, thou shalt let him have thy cloke also. ⁴¹ And whosoever compels thee to go a mile, go with him two more. ⁴² Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow, thou shalt not turn away. ⁴³ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy: ⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that do spitefully use and persecute you: ⁴⁵ That ye may be children of your Father who is in the heavens; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if ye shall love them who love you, what reward will ye have? do not even the publicans the same? ⁴⁷ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do you that is extraordinary? do not even the heathens so? ⁴⁸ Ye shall therefore be perfect, even as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect.
