emtv - Matthew:5:1-7:29

emtv@Matthew:5:1 @ And seeing the crowds, He went up into the mountain, and after He had sat down, His disciples approached Him.

emtv@Matthew:5:2 @ And opening His mouth, He began to teach them, saying:

emtv@Matthew:5:3 @ "Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

emtv@Matthew:5:4 @ Blessed [are] those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

emtv@Matthew:5:5 @ Blessed [are] the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

emtv@Matthew:5:6 @ Blessed [are] those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

emtv@Matthew:5:7 @ Blessed [are] the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

emtv@Matthew:5:8 @ Blessed [are] the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

emtv@Matthew:5:9 @ Blessed [are] the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

emtv@Matthew:5:10 @ Blessed [are] those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

emtv@Matthew:5:11 @ "Blessed are you whenever they revile you, and they persecute you, and they say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

emtv@Matthew:5:12 @ Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

emtv@Matthew:5:13 @ "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and to be trampled underfoot by men.

emtv@Matthew:5:14 @ You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

emtv@Matthew:5:15 @ Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines on everything in the house.

emtv@Matthew:5:16 @ Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and they may glorify your Father who is in heaven.

emtv@Matthew:5:17 @ "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

emtv@Matthew:5:18 @ For assuredly I say to you, until heaven and earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle shall by no means pass away from the law until all things are fulfilled.

emtv@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men thus, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does [them] and teaches [them], he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

emtv@Matthew:5:20 @ For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

emtv@Matthew:5:21 @ "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'You shall not kill,' and whoever kills will be liable to the judgment.

emtv@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you that whoever gets angry with his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Empty-head!' will be liable to the council. But whoever says, ' fool!' will be liable to the fiery hell.

emtv@Matthew:5:23 @ Therefore if you offer your gift on the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

emtv@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

emtv@Matthew:5:25 @ Make friends with your adversary quickly, while you are on the road with him, lest your adversary hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

emtv@Matthew:5:26 @ Assuredly I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

emtv@Matthew:5:27 @ "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'

emtv@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you, that whoever looks at a woman in order to lust after her has already committed adultery [with] her in his heart.

emtv@Matthew:5:29 @ If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is better for you that one of your members be lost, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

emtv@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you that one of your members be lost, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

emtv@Matthew:5:31 @ "Furthermore it has been said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.'

emtv@Matthew:5:32 @ "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorcee commits adultery.

emtv@Matthew:5:33 @ "Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'You shall not swear falsely, but you shall pay your oaths to the Lord.'

emtv@Matthew:5:34 @ "But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;

emtv@Matthew:5:35 @ nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

emtv@Matthew:5:36 @ Nor shall you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

emtv@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your word be 'Yes', 'yes,'; [or ]'No,' 'no.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil [one].

emtv@Matthew:5:38 @ "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'

emtv@Matthew:5:39 @ But I say to you not to resist an evil person. But whoever shall slap you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

emtv@Matthew:5:40 @ And to the [one] desiring to sue you and to take your tunic, let him have your cloak also.

emtv@Matthew:5:41 @ And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

emtv@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to the [one] asking you, and to the [one] desiring to borrow from you, do not turn away.

emtv@Matthew:5:43 @ "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and you shall hate your enemy.'

emtv@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,

emtv@Matthew:5:45 @ so that you may prove to be sons of your Father in heaven; because He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and He sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

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

emtv@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you greet your friends only, what more are you doing [than others]? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

emtv@Matthew:5:48 @ You therefore be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

emtv@Matthew:6:1 @ "Take care not to be doing your charitable giving before men, so as to be seen by them. Otherwise, you have not a reward from your Father in heaven.

emtv@Matthew:6:2 @ Whenever therefore you do charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by men. Assuredly I say to you, they receive their reward in full.

emtv@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you do charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

emtv@Matthew:6:4 @ so that your charitable giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will Himself reward you openly.

emtv@Matthew:6:5 @ "And whenever you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues, and on the streetcorners, so that they may be seen by men. Assuredly I say to you, that they receive their reward in full.

emtv@Matthew:6:6 @ But you, whenever you pray, enter into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

emtv@Matthew:6:7 @ But when you pray, do not babble like the heathen, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

emtv@Matthew:6:8 @ Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows what things[ ]you have need of before you ask Him.

emtv@Matthew:6:9 @ Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

emtv@Matthew:6:10 @ Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as [it is ]in heaven.

emtv@Matthew:6:11 @ Give us this day our daily bread.

emtv@Matthew:6:12 @ And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

emtv@Matthew:6:13 @ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one]. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

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

emtv@Matthew:6:15 @ But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

emtv@Matthew:6:16 @ "Moreover, when you fast, do not become gloomy, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men [to be] fasting. Assuredly I say to you, that they receive their reward in full.

emtv@Matthew:6:17 @ But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

emtv@Matthew:6:18 @ so that you do not appear to men [to be] fasting, but to your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

emtv@Matthew:6:19 @ "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves dig through and steal;

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

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

emtv@Matthew:6:22 @ "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

emtv@Matthew:6:23 @ But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

emtv@Matthew:6:24 @ "No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other, or else he will be devoted to the one, and he will despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

emtv@Matthew:6:25 @ "Because of this I say to you, do not worry [about ]your life-what you shall eat, or what you shall drink-nor [about] your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food and the body [more than] clothing?

emtv@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap, nor do they gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they?

emtv@Matthew:6:27 @ Which of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his stature?

emtv@Matthew:6:28 @ So why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor, nor spin;

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

emtv@Matthew:6:30 @ But if God thus clothes the grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, [will He] not much more [clothe] you, [O you] of little faith?

emtv@Matthew:6:31 @ Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we put on?'

emtv@Matthew:6:32 @ "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

emtv@Matthew:6:33 @ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

emtv@Matthew:6:34 @ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own affairs. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

emtv@Matthew:7:1 @ "Judge not, lest you be judged.

emtv@Matthew:7:2 @ For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with what measure you measure, it will be measured [back] to you.

emtv@Matthew:7:3 @ And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye?

emtv@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how will you say to your brother, 'Permit me to remove the speck from your eye'; and look, [there is] a plank in your own eye?

emtv@Matthew:7:5 @ Hypocrite! First remove the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

emtv@Matthew:7:6 @ Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

emtv@Matthew:7:7 @ "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

emtv@Matthew:7:8 @ For everyone that asks receives, and he that seeks finds, and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.

emtv@Matthew:7:9 @ Or what man is there among you who, if his son should ask for bread, will give to him a stone?

emtv@Matthew:7:10 @ And if he should ask for a fish, he will give to him a serpent?

emtv@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, by how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

emtv@Matthew:7:12 @ Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, thus also you do to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

emtv@Matthew:7:13 @ "Enter in through the narrow gate; because wide is the gate, and broad is the way which leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in through it.

emtv@Matthew:7:14 @ How narrow the gate, and confined the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it!

emtv@Matthew:7:15 @ "But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

emtv@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grape clusters from thorns, or figs from thistles?

emtv@Matthew:7:17 @ Thus every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces evil fruit.

emtv@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce good fruit.

emtv@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

emtv@Matthew:7:20 @ Consequently, by their fruits you shall know them.

emtv@Matthew:7:21 @ "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.

emtv@Matthew:7:22 @ Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name we cast out demons, and in Your name we did many mighty works?'

emtv@Matthew:7:23 @ "And then I will confess to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you who work iniquity!'

emtv@Matthew:7:24 @ "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock:

emtv@Matthew:7:25 @ and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and fell against that house; and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.

emtv@Matthew:7:26 @ And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

emtv@Matthew:7:27 @ and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And its fall was great."

emtv@Matthew:7:28 @ And so it was, when Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

emtv@Matthew:7:29 @ for He taught them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
