acv - Matthew:5:1-7:29

acv@Matthew:5:1 @ And having seen the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him.

acv@Matthew:5:2 @ And having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying,

acv@Matthew:5:3 @ Blessed are the poor in spirit, because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.

acv@Matthew:5:4 @ Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.

acv@Matthew:5:5 @ Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit the earth.

acv@Matthew:5:6 @ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled.

acv@Matthew:5:7 @ Blessed are the merciful, because they will obtain mercy.

acv@Matthew:5:8 @ Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God.

acv@Matthew:5:9 @ Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God.

acv@Matthew:5:10 @ Blessed are those who have been persecuted because of righteousness, because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.

acv@Matthew:5:11 @ Blessed are ye when they revile you, and persecute you, and say every evil word, being deceitful against you because of me.

acv@Matthew:5:12 @ Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, because your reward is great in the heavens, for so they persecuted the prophets before you.

acv@Matthew:5:13 @ Ye are the salt material of the earth. But if the salt material becomes ineffective, by what will it be salted? It is potent for nothing further, except to be cast outside and to be trodden down by men.

acv@Matthew:5:14 @ Ye are the light of the world. A city setting on a hill cannot be hid,

acv@Matthew:5:15 @ nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all in the house.

acv@Matthew:5:16 @ Thus your light should shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in the heavens.

acv@Matthew:5:17 @ Think not that I came to abolish the law or the prophets. I came not to abolish, but to fulfill.

acv@Matthew:5:18 @ For truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle will, no, not pass away from the law, until all things come to pass.

acv@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever therefore may relax one of these least commandments, and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens. But whoever may do and may teach them, this man will be called great in the kingdom of the he

acv@Matthew:5:20 @ For I say to you, that unless your righteousness abounds more than of the scholars and Pharisees, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

acv@Matthew:5:21 @ Ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to the judgment.

acv@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you, that every man who is angry at his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment, and whoever speaks an insult to his brother will be liable to the council, and whoever says, Foolish man, will be liable to

acv@Matthew:5:23 @ If therefore thou should bring thy gift to the altar, and remember there that thy brother has anything against thee,

acv@Matthew:5:24 @ leave there thy gift before the altar, and go. First be reconciled to thy brother, and then, after coming, bring thy gift.

acv@Matthew:5:25 @ Be agreeing with thine opponent quickly, while thou are with him on the way, lest the opponent deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the subordinate, and thou will be cast into prison.

acv@Matthew:5:26 @ Truly I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid the last quadran.

acv@Matthew:5:27 @ Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall not commit adultery.

acv@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

acv@Matthew:5:29 @ And if thy right eye causes thee to stumble, remove it and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

acv@Matthew:5:30 @ And if thy right hand causes thee to stumble, cut it off and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

acv@Matthew:5:31 @ And it was said, Whoever may divorce his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.

acv@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife apart from a matter of fornication, disposes her to commit adultery, and whoever may marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.

acv@Matthew:5:33 @ Again, ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not swear falsely, but shall render to the Lord thine oaths.

acv@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say to you, not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God,

acv@Matthew:5:35 @ nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

acv@Matthew:5:36 @ Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou cannot make one hair white or black.

acv@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your word be, Yes, yes, No, no. And anything beyond these is from evil.

acv@Matthew:5:38 @ Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

acv@Matthew:5:39 @ But I say to you, not to resist what is troublesome, but whoever will strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

acv@Matthew:5:40 @ And to the man who wants to sue thee, and take away thy coat, thou shall leave him thy cloak also.

acv@Matthew:5:41 @ And whoever will draft thee for one mile, go thou with him two.

acv@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to him who asks thee, and turn thou not away from him who wants to borrow from thee.

acv@Matthew:5:43 @ Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.

acv@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to 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,

acv@Matthew:5:45 @ so that ye may become sons of your Father in the heavens, because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and makes rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

acv@Matthew:5:46 @ For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the tax collectors the same?

acv@Matthew:5:47 @ And if ye only greet your friends, what do ye extra? Do not even the tax collectors this way?

acv@Matthew:5:48 @ Ye therefore shall be perfect, even as your Father in the heavens is perfect.

acv@Matthew:6:1 @ Be careful not to do your charity before men in order to be seen by them, otherwise ye have no reward from your Father in the heavens.

acv@Matthew:6:2 @ When therefore thou do charity, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

acv@Matthew:6:3 @ But when thou do charity, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does,

acv@Matthew:6:4 @ so that thy charity may be in secret. And thy Father who sees in secret will himself reward thee in the open.

acv@Matthew:6:5 @ And when thou pray, thou shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love to pray having stood in the synagogues and in the corners of the thoroughfares, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

acv@Matthew:6:6 @ But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy private room, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will reward thee in the open.

acv@Matthew:6:7 @ And while praying do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard by their much speaking.

acv@Matthew:6:8 @ Be not therefore like them, for your Father knows what things ye have need of before ye ask him.

acv@Matthew:6:9 @ Pray ye therefore this way: Our Father in the heavens, hallowed be thy name.

acv@Matthew:6:10 @ May thy kingdom come. May thy will happen on the earth as also in heaven.

acv@Matthew:6:11 @ Give us this day the bread sufficient for us.

acv@Matthew:6:12 @ And forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors.

acv@Matthew:6:13 @ And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, because from thee is the kingdom and the power and the glory into the ages. Truly.

acv@Matthew:6:14 @ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

acv@Matthew:6:15 @ But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

acv@Matthew:6:16 @ And when ye fast, become not like the gloomy looking hypocrites, for they make their faces unsightly, so that they may appear fasting to men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

acv@Matthew:6:17 @ But when thou fast, anoint thy head, and wash thy face,

acv@Matthew:6:18 @ so that thou may not appear fasting to men, but to thy Father in secret. And thy Father, who sees in secret, will reward thee.

acv@Matthew:6:19 @ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust deteriorates, and where thieves break through and steal,

acv@Matthew:6:20 @ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust deteriorates, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

acv@Matthew:6:21 @ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

acv@Matthew:6:22 @ The light of the body is the eye. If therefore thine eye is sound, thy whole body will be bright.

acv@Matthew:6:23 @ But if thine eye is bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is the darkness!

acv@Matthew:6:24 @ No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and disparage the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

acv@Matthew:6:25 @ Because of this I say to you, be not anxious about your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, nor yet for your body, what ye may wear. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing?

acv@Matthew:6:26 @ Look to the birds of the sky, because they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not more valuable then they?

acv@Matthew:6:27 @ And which man of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span?

acv@Matthew:6:28 @ And why are ye anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, nor do they spin,

acv@Matthew:6:29 @ yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.

acv@Matthew:6:30 @ And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more you, O ye of little faith?

acv@Matthew:6:31 @ Be not therefore anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we wear?

acv@Matthew:6:32 @ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that ye need all these things.

acv@Matthew:6:33 @ But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

acv@Matthew:6:34 @ Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow will be anxious about things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of it.

acv@Matthew:7:1 @ Do not criticize, that ye may not be criticized.

acv@Matthew:7:2 @ For by what criticism ye criticize, ye will be criticized, and by what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you.

acv@Matthew:7:3 @ And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not notice the beam in thine own eye?

acv@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how will thou say to thy brother, Let me take out the speck from thine eye, and behold, the beam in thine own eye?

acv@Matthew:7:5 @ Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck from thy brother's eye.

acv@Matthew:7:6 @ Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them by their feet, and having turn back may lacerate you.

acv@Matthew:7:7 @ Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and ye will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you.

acv@Matthew:7:8 @ For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

acv@Matthew:7:9 @ Or what man is there of you, who, if his son may ask for bread, will give him a stone,

acv@Matthew:7:10 @ and if he may ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?

acv@Matthew:7:11 @ If ye therefore, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more your Father in the heavens will give good things to those who ask him?

acv@Matthew:7:12 @ All things therefore, as many as ye may want that men should do to you, so also do ye to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

acv@Matthew:7:13 @ Enter ye in by the narrow gate, because wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter through it.

acv@Matthew:7:14 @ How narrow is the gate, and restricted the way, that leads to life, and few are those who find it.

acv@Matthew:7:15 @ But beware of FALSE prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are predatory wolves.

acv@Matthew:7:16 @ From their fruits ye will know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

acv@Matthew:7:17 @ Likewise every good tree produces good fruits, but the corrupt tree produces bad fruits.

acv@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a corrupt tree produce good fruits.

acv@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

acv@Matthew:7:20 @ So then from their fruits ye will know them.

acv@Matthew:7:21 @ Not every man who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who does the will of my Father in the heavens.

acv@Matthew:7:22 @ Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

acv@Matthew:7:23 @ And then I will profess to them, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, ye who work lawlessness.

acv@Matthew:7:24 @ Therefore every man, whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock.

acv@Matthew:7:25 @ And the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded upon the rock.

acv@Matthew:7:26 @ And every man who hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them, will be compared to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.

acv@Matthew:7:27 @ And the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell. And great was the fall of it.

acv@Matthew:7:28 @ And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these sayings, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

acv@Matthew:7:29 @ for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as their scholars.
