kjv - Matthew:5:17-45

kjv@Matthew:5:17 @ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

kjv@Matthew:5:18 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:19 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:20 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:21 @ Ye 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:

kjv@Matthew:5:22 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:23 @ Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

kjv@Matthew:5:24 @ Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

kjv@Matthew:5:25 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:26 @ Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

kjv@Matthew:5:27 @ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

kjv@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

kjv@Matthew:5:29 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:30 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:31 @ It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

kjv@Matthew:5:32 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:33 @ 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:

kjv@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

kjv@Matthew:5:35 @ Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

kjv@Matthew:5:36 @ Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

kjv@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

kjv@Matthew:5:38 @ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

kjv@Matthew:5:39 @ 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.

kjv@Matthew:5:40 @ And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

kjv@Matthew:5:41 @ And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

kjv@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

kjv@Matthew:5:43 @ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

kjv@Matthew:5:44 @ 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;

kjv@Matthew:5:45 @ 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.
