Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have
lost
his
savour, wherewith
shall it be salted? it
is
thenceforth
good
for nothing, but
to be cast out
, and to be trodden under
foot
of
men.
`
Ye are the salt of the land,

lose
savour, in

by
men.
Ye are the light of the world .
A city that
is
set on
an
hill
cannot
be hid .
`
Ye are the light of the world ,
a city set upon
a
mount
is
not
able
to
be hid ;
Neither
do men
light a candle
, and put it under a
bushel
, but on a
candlestick;
and it giveth
light
unto
all that
are
in the house .
nor
do they
light a lamp
, and put it under the
measure
, but on the
lamp-stand,
and it shineth
to
all those
in the house ;
Let your light so
shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which
is in heaven
.

Think
not that I am
come
to destroy
the law ,
or the prophets :
I am
not come to destroy
, but to fulfil.
`Do
not suppose
that I came
to throw
down
the law or the prophets --
I did
not come to throw
down
, but to fulfill;
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
fulfilled
.
for ,
verily I say to
you, till that
the
heaven and the
earth may
pass away
, one iota
or one tittle may
not
pass away
from the law, till that
all may
come
to
pass
.
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 may
loose
one of these commands
--
the
least --
and may
teach men so, least
he shall be called in the reign
of the
heavens,
but whoever
may
do and may
teach `
them '
, he
shall be called great in the reign
of the
heavens
.
For I say unto
you, That except
your righteousness shall
exceed
the
righteousness
of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall
in
no
case
enter into
the kingdom
of heaven
.
`
For I say to
you, that if
your righteousness may
not
abound
above
that
of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may
not
enter to
the reign
of the
heavens
.
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 :
`
Ye heard that it was said to
the
ancients:
Thou shalt not kill ,
and whoever
may
kill 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 --
I
say to
you, that every
one
who
is angry at
his brother without cause ,
shall be in danger of the judgment ,
and whoever
may
say to his brother, Empty
fellow!
shall be in danger of the sanhedrim
, and
whoever
may
say
, Rebel!
shall be in danger of the
gehenna
of
the
fire.
Therefore
if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath ought
against thee ;
`
If ,
therefore,
thou mayest
bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest
remember
that thy brother hath anything
against thee ,
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy
way;
first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and
offer
thy gift.
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go --
first be reconciled to thy brother, and then having
come bring
thy gift.
Agree
with thine
adversary
quickly, whiles
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.
`Be
agreeing
with thy
opponent
quickly, while
thou art in the way with him ,
that
the opponent
may
not
deliver thee to the judge, and the judge may
deliver thee to the officer, and to
prison
thou mayest
be cast ,
Verily I say unto
thee, Thou shalt
by
no
means
come out
thence ,
till thou hast
paid
the uttermost
farthing.
verily I say to
thee, thou mayest
not
come forth
thence till that
thou mayest
pay
the last
farthing.
Ye have
heard that it was said by
them
of
old
time,
Thou shalt not commit adultery :
`
Ye heard that it was said to
the
ancients:
Thou shalt 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 --
I
say to
you, that every
one
who
is
looking
on a woman to desire
her ,
did
already
commit
adultery with her 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
.
`But,
if thy right eye doth
cause
thee to
stumble
, pluck it out and cast from thee ,
for it is good
to
thee that one of thy members may
perish, and not thy whole body be cast to
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
.
`
And ,
if thy right hand doth
cause
thee to
stumble
, cut it off, and cast from thee ,
for it is good
to
thee that one of thy members may
perish, and not thy whole body be cast to
gehenna
.
It hath
been
said, Whosoever
shall
put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
`And
it was
said, That
whoever
may
put away his wife, let him give to
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 --
I
say to
you, that whoever
may
put away his wife, save
for the matter
of whoredom
, doth
make
her to commit adultery ;
and whoever
may
marry her who
hath
been
put
away
doth
commit
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, ye heard that it was
said to
the
ancients:
Thou shalt not swear
falsely
, but thou
shalt pay
to
the Lord thine oaths ;
But I say unto
you, Swear
not at all; neither by heaven ;
for
it is God's
throne :
but I --
I
say to
you, not to
swear
at all; neither by the
heaven ,
because
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 ,
because
it is His footstool ,
nor
by Jerusalem ,
because
it is a
city of a
great king ,
Neither
shalt
thou
swear
by thy head, because thou canst
not make
one hair white or black .
nor
by thy head mayest
thou
swear
, because thou art
not able
one hair to
make
white or black ;
But let your communication
be, Yea
, yea;
Nay
, nay:
for
whatsoever
is more than these cometh
of evil.
but let your word
be, Yes
, Yes
, No,
No,
and
that
which
is more than these is
of the
evil.
Ye have
heard that it hath
been
said ,
An
eye for an
eye, and a
tooth for a
tooth :
`
Ye heard that it was
said :
Eye for eye, and tooth for 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 --
I
say to
you, not to
resist
the
evil ,
but whoever
shall slap
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also
the other ;
And if
any
man
will
sue
thee at
the
law, and take
away
thy coat ,
let
him have
thy
cloak
also.
and whoever
is
willing
to
take
thee to
law, and thy coat to
take
--
suffer
to
him also the
cloak
.
And whosoever
shall compel
thee to
go
a
mile, go with him twain.
`
And whoever
shall impress
thee one
mile, go with him two,
Give
to him that
asketh
thee, and from
him that
would
borrow of
thee turn
not
thou away.
to him who
is
asking
of
thee be
giving
, and him who
is
willing
to
borrow from
thee thou mayest
not
turn
away.
Ye have
heard that it hath
been
said ,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour
, and hate thine enemy .
`
Ye heard that it was
said :
Thou shalt love thy neighbor
, and shalt
hate thine 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 --
I
say to
you, Love your enemies, bless those
cursing
you, do good to those
hating
you, and pray for those
accusing
you falsely
, and persecuting
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 ye may be sons
of your Father in the
heavens,
because
His sun He
doth
cause
to rise on evil and good, and He
doth
send
rain on righteous
and unrighteous
.
For if ye love
them
which
love you, what reward have ye? do not even
the publicans
the same?
`
For ,
if ye may
love those
loving
you, what reward have ye? do not also
the tax-gatherers
the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
than
others
? do not even
the publicans
so?
and if ye may
salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant
? do not also
the tax-gatherers
so?
Be
ye therefore perfect, even
as your Father which
is in heaven
is perfect.
ye shall
therefore be
perfect, as your Father who
`
is '
in the
heavens
is perfect.
