Whiston(i)
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.
6 1 Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father in the heavens.
2 Therefore, when thou shalt do alms, thou shalt not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may be glorified of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.
3 But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy father who seeth in scret, himself shall reward thee.
5 And when thou shalt pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand, and to pray 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.
6 But thou, when thou shalt pray, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret, shall reward thee.
7 But when ye pray, ye shall not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye open your mouth.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye; Our Father who art in the heavens, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done as in heaven, so on earth.
11 Give us this day the bread necessary for our sustenance.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debters.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
14 For, if ye shall forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if ye shall not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.
16 Moreover, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face.
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, shall reward thee.
19 You shall not lay up for your selves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal.
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break 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 full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No one can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon:
25 Therefore I say unto you, Be not sollicitous for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on: Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of heaven: for they sow not, nether do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by being sollicitous can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why are ye sollicitous for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither dothey spin.
29 And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory, was not arayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more do so to you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore ye shall not be sollicitous, saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 For, after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Ye shall not therefore be sollicitous for the morrow: for the morrow will be sollicitous about things for it self: sufficient for the day [is] the evil thereof.
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 mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull the mote out of thine eye; and behold a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, least they at any time trample them under their feet, and turn again and rent you.
7 Ask and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son shall ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 And if he shall ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide [is] the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be who go in thereat:
14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves,
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits: Do men gather a grape of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruits: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruits.
18 [OMITTED TEXT]
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens: but he that doeth the will of my father who is in the heavens, he shall enter into the kingdom of 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 cast out dæmons? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me all ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doth them, he shall be likened unto a wise man who built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house: and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock,
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house: and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these saying, the multitude were astonished at his doctrine.
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
