of men.

set
on an
hill cannot
be hid

light a lamp

shall in no
wise
pass from the law, till
all be
fulfilled
.
For most
assuredly,
I tell
you, until
heaven and earth pass away
, not
even
one smallest
letter
or one tiny
pen
stroke
shall in any
way
pass away
from the law, until
all things
are
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.
Whoever,
therefore ,
shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others

unto
you ,
That except
your righteousness shall
exceed
the
righteousness
of the scribes and Pharisees, ye
shall

no case
enter into the kingdom of heaven.

will
enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Ye
have heard that it was said of
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
ancient
ones
, 'You
shall
not murder
; '
and 'Whoever
shall murder
shall be in danger of the 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 everyone
who
is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment ;
and whoever
shall say to his brother, '
Raca !'
shall be in danger of the council ;
and
whoever
shall say, 'You
fool !'
shall be in danger of the
fire of
Gehenna
.
Therefore
if thou
bring
thy
gift to
the altar, and there rememberest
that thy
brother hath
ought
against thee;
"
If therefore
you
are
offering
your
gift at
the altar, and there remember
that your
brother has
anything
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.

gift there
before the altar, and go your
way .

brother, and then come and offer your
gift.
Agree with thine
adversary quickly, whiles
thou
art
in the way with
him

any
time
the adversary
deliver thee
to the judge, and the judge deliver thee
to the officer, and thou
be cast into prison.

adversary quickly, while
you
are
with
him
in the way; lest perhaps
the prosecutor
deliver you
to the judge, and the judge deliver you
to the officer, and you
be cast into prison.
Verily
I say
unto
thee
, Thou
shalt
by no means come
out thence
, till
thou
hast
paid the uttermost
farthing
.
Most
assuredly
I tell
you
, you
shall
by no means get

Ye
have heard that it was said by
them
of
old
time
, Thou
shalt
not commit adultery :
"You
have heard that it was said, 'You
shall
not commit adultery ;'
But I say
unto
you ,
That whosoever
looketh
on
a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart.
but I tell
you that everyone
who
gazes
at
a woman to lust after her has
committed adultery with her already in his heart.
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
stumble
, pluck it out and throw
it away
from you.
For it is more
profitable for you
that one of your
members should perish, than
for
your
whole body to
be cast into Gehenna
.
And
if thy
right hand offend
thee
, cut it 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
.
If your
right hand causes
you
to
stumble
, cut it off, and throw
it away
from you
: for it is profitable for you
that one of your
members should perish, and not your
whole body be thrown
into Gehenna
.
It hath
been
said, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
"
It was
also
said, 'Whoever
shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'
But I say
unto
you ,
That whosoever
shall
put
away his wife, saving
for the cause of fornication
, causeth
her to
commit
adultery:
and whosoever
shall
marry
her that
is divorced
committeth
adultery.
but I tell
you that whoever
puts
away his wife, except
for the cause of sexual
immorality
, makes
her an
adulteress;
and whoever
marries
her when
she
is put
away
commits
adultery.
Again ,
ye
have heard that it hath
been
said by
them of old time, Thou
shalt
not forswear
thyself
, but shalt
perform unto
the Lord thine
oaths:
"
Again you
have heard that it was
said to
them of old time, 'You
shall
not make
false
vows
, but shall
perform to
the Lord your
vows,'
But I say
unto
you, Swear not
at all ;
neither by heaven ;
for it is God's
throne :
but I tell
you, don't
swear at all :
neither by heaven ,
for it is the
throne of
God;
Nor by the earth ;
for it is his
footstool :
neither
by Jerusalem ;
for it is the city of the great King.
nor by the earth ,
for it is the
footstool of
his
feet;
nor
by Jerusalem ,
for it is the city of the great King.
Neither shalt
thou
swear by thy
head, because
thou
canst
not
make one hair white or black.
Neither shall
you
swear by your
head, for
you
can't
make one hair white or black.
But let your communication
be ,
Yea,
yea;
Nay,
nay:
for
whatsoever
is more than these cometh
of evil.
But let your 'Yes'
be 'Yes'
and
your
'No'
be
'no.'
Whatever
is more than these is
of the
evil one
.
Ye
have heard that it hath
been
said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth :
"You
have heard that it was
said, '
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth .'
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, don't
resist him
who
is
evil ;
but whoever
strikes
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
cloak also.
If anyone
sues
you
to
take away your
coat, let him have your
cloak also.
And
whosoever
shall
compel
thee
to go a
mile, go with him twain
.
Whoever
compels
you
to go one
mile, go with him two
.
Give to him that
asketh
thee
, and from
him
that
would
borrow
of
thee
turn not
thou
away.
Give to him who
asks
you
, and don't
turn away him
who
desires
to
borrow
from
you
.
Ye
have heard that it hath
been
said, Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbour
, and hate thine
enemy.
"You
have heard that it was
said, 'You
shall
love your
neighbor
, and hate your
enemy. '
But I say
unto
you, Love your enemies, bless them
that
curse you, do good to them
that
hate you, and pray for them
which
despitefully
use
you ,
and persecute you ;
But I tell
you, love your enemies, bless those
who
curse you, do good to those
who
hate you, and pray for those
who
mistreat
you and 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 children of your Father who
is in heaven .
For he makes
his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends
rain on the just and the unjust.
For if ye
love them
which
love you, what reward have ye
? do
not
even the publicans
the same?
For if you
love those
who
love you, what reward do
you
have? Don't
even the tax
collectors
do
the same?
And
if ye
salute
your
brethren
only, what do
ye
more than others? do
not
even the publicans
so
?
If you
only greet
your
friends
, what more do
you
do
than others? Don't
even the tax
collectors
do
the
same
?
Be
ye
therefore perfect, even
as your Father which
is
in heaven is perfect.
Therefore you
shall
be
perfect, just
as your Father in heaven is perfect.
