1And when he sawe the multitude, he went vp into a mountaine: and when he was set, his disciples came to him. 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are they that mourne: for they shall be comforted. 5Blessed are the meeke: for they shall inherite the earth. 6Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousnes: for they shalbe filled. 7Blessed are the mercifull: for they shal obteine mercie. 8Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9Blessed are the peace makers: for they shal be called the children of God. 10Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. 11Blessed shall ye be when men reuile you, and persecute you, & say all maner of euill against you for my sake, falsely. 12Reioyce and be glad, for great is your reward in heauen: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you. 13Ye 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. 14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither doe men light a candel, and put it vnder a bushel, but on a candlesticke, and it giueth light vnto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good workes, and glorifie your Father which is in heauen. 17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For truly I say vnto you, Till heauen, and earth perish, one iote or one title of the Law shall not scape, till all things be fulfilled. 19Whosoever 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. 20For I say vnto you, except your righteousnes exceede the righteousnes of the Scribes and Pharises, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen. 21Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22But 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. 23Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24Leaue there thine offring before the altar, and goe thy way: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25Agree 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. 26Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 27Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adulterie with her already in his heart. 29And 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. 30Also if thy right hand make thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee that one of thy members perish, then that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 31It hath bene sayd also, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, let him giue her a bill of diuorcement. 32But I say vnto you, whosoeuer shall put away his wife (except it be for fornication) causeth her to commit adulterie: & whosoeuer shal marrie her that is diuorced, committeth adulterie. 33Again, 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: 34But I say vnto you, Sweare not at all, neither by heauen, for it is the throne of God: 35Nor yet by the earth: for it is his footestoole: neither by Hierusalem: for it is the citie of the great King. 36Neither shalt thou sweare by thine head, because thou canst not make one heare white or blacke. 37But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39But I say vnto you, Resist not euill: but whosoeuer shall smite thee on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also. 40And if any man wil sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloke also. 41And whosoeuer will compell thee to goe a mile, goe with him twaine. 42Giue to him that asketh, and from him that would borowe of thee, turne not away. 43Ye haue heard that it hath bin said, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour, and hate your enemie. 44But I say vnto you, Loue your enemies: blesse them that curse you: doe good to them that hate you, and pray for them which hurt you, and persecute you, 45That 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. 46For if ye loue them, which loue you, what rewarde shall you haue? Doe not the Publicanes euen the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so? 48Ye shall therefore be perfit, as your Father which is in heauen, is perfite.
