Matthew:5:12-46
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Rejoice (
5720 ),
and be exceeding glad (
5737 ):
for great is your reward in heaven :
for so persecuted they (
5656 )
the prophets which were before you .
*
Ye are (
5748 )
the salt of the earth :
but if the salt have lost his savour (
5686 ),
wherewith shall it be salted (
5701 )?
it is thenceforth good (
5719 )
for nothing ,
but to be cast (
5683 )
out ,
and to be trodden under foot (
5745 )
of men .
*
Ye are (
5748 )
the light of the world .
A city that is set (
5740 )
on an hill cannot (
5736 )
be hid (
5650 ).
*
Neither do men light (
5719 )
a candle ,
and put (
5719 )
it under a bushel ,
but on a candlestick ;
and it giveth light (
5719 )
unto all that are in the house .
*
Let your light so shine (
5657 )
before men ,
that they may see (
5632 )
your good works ,
and glorify (
5661 )
your Father which is in heaven .
*
Think (
5661 )
not that I am come (
5627 )
to destroy (
5658 )
the law ,
or the prophets :
I am not come (
5627 )
to destroy (
5658 ),
but to fulfil (
5658 ).
*
For verily I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
Till heaven and earth pass (
5632 ),
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass (
5632 )
from the law ,
till all be fulfilled (
5638 ).
*
Whosoever therefore shall break (
5661 )
one of these least commandments ,
and shall teach (
5661 )
men so ,
he shall be called (
5701 )
the least in the kingdom of heaven :
but whosoever shall do (
5661 )
and teach (
5661 )
them ,
the same shall be called (
5701 )
great in the kingdom of heaven .
*
For I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That except your righteousness shall exceed (
5661 )
the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees ,
ye shall in no case enter (
5632 )
into the kingdom of heaven .
*
Ye have heard (
5656 )
that it was said (
5681 )
by them of old time ,
Thou shalt not kill (
5692 );
and whosoever shall kill (
5661 )
shall be (
5704 )
in danger of the judgment :
*
But I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That whosoever is angry (
5746 )
with his brother without a cause shall be (
5704 )
in danger of the judgment :
and whosoever shall say (
5632 )
to his brother ,
Raca ,
shall be (
5704 )
in danger of the council :
but whosoever shall say (
5632 ),
Thou fool ,
shall be (
5704 )
in danger of hell fire .
*
Therefore if thou bring (
5725 )
thy gift to the altar ,
and there rememberest (
5686 )
that thy brother hath (
5719 )
ought against thee ;
*
Leave (
5628 )
there thy gift before the altar ,
and go thy way (
5720 );
first be reconciled (
5649 )
to thy brother ,
and then come (
5631 )
and offer (
5720 )
thy gift .
*
Agree (
5749 ) (
5723 )
with thine adversary quickly ,
whiles thou art (
5748 )
in the way with him ;
lest at any time the adversary deliver (
5632 )
thee to the judge ,
and the judge deliver (
5632 )
thee to the officer ,
and thou be cast (
5701 )
into prison .
*
Verily I say (
5719 )
unto thee ,
Thou shalt by no means come (
5632 )
out thence ,
till thou hast paid (
5632 )
the uttermost farthing .
*
Ye have heard (
5656 )
that it was said (
5681 )
by them of old time ,
Thou shalt not commit adultery (
5692 ):
*
But I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That whosoever looketh (
5723 )
on a woman to lust after (
5658 )
her hath committed adultery (
5656 )
with her already in his heart .
*
And if thy right eye offend (
5719 )
thee ,
pluck it out (
5628 ),
and cast (
5628 )
it from thee :
for it is profitable (
5719 )
for thee that one of thy members should perish (
5643 ),
and not that thy whole body should be cast (
5686 )
into hell .
*
And if thy right hand offend (
5719 )
thee ,
cut it off (
5657 ),
and cast (
5628 )
it from thee :
for it is profitable (
5719 )
for thee that one of thy members should perish (
5643 ),
and not that thy whole body should be cast (
5686 )
into hell .
*
It hath been said (
5681 ),
Whosoever shall put away (
5661 )
his wife ,
let him give (
5628 )
her a writing of divorcement :
*
But I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That whosoever shall put away (
5661 )
his wife ,
saving for the cause of fornication ,
causeth (
5719 )
her to commit adultery (
5738 ):
and whosoever shall marry (
5661 )
her that is divorced (
5772 )
committeth adultery (
5736 ).
*
Again ,
ye have heard (
5656 )
that it hath been said (
5681 )
by them of old time ,
Thou shalt not forswear thyself (
5692 ),
but shalt perform (
5692 )
unto the Lord thine oaths :
*
But I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
Swear (
5658 )
not at all ;
neither by heaven ;
for it is (
5748 )
Gods throne :
*
Nor by the earth ;
for it is (
5748 )
his footstool :
neither by Jerusalem ;
for it is (
5748 )
the city of the great King .
*
Neither shalt thou swear (
5661 )
by thy head ,
because thou canst (
5736 )
not make (
5658 )
one hair white or black .
*
But let your communication be (
5749 ),
Yea ,
yea ;
Nay ,
nay :
for whatsoever is more than these cometh (
5748 )
of evil .
*
Ye have heard (
5656 )
that it hath been said (
5681 ),
An eye for an eye ,
and a tooth for a tooth :
*
But I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That ye resist (
5629 )
not evil :
but whosoever shall smite (
5692 )
thee on thy right cheek ,
turn (
5657 )
to him the other also .
*
And if any man will (
5723 )
sue thee at the law (
5683 ),
and take away (
5629 )
thy coat ,
let him have (
5628 )
thy cloke also .
*
And whosoever shall compel thee to go (
5692 )
a mile ,
go (
5720 )
with him twain .
*
Give (
5720 )
to him that asketh (
5723 )
thee ,
and from him that would (
5723 )
borrow (
5670 )
of thee turn not thou away (
5652 ).
*
Ye have heard (
5656 )
that it hath been said (
5681 ),
Thou shalt love (
5692 )
thy neighbour ,
and hate (
5692 )
thine enemy .
*
But I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
Love (
5720 )
your enemies ,
bless (
5720 )
them that curse (
5740 )
you ,
do (
5720 )
good to them that hate (
5723 )
you ,
and pray (
5737 )
for them which despitefully use (
5723 )
you ,
and persecute (
5723 )
you ;
*
That ye may be (
5638 )
the children of your Father which is in heaven :
for he maketh his sun to rise (
5719 )
on the evil and on the good ,
and sendeth rain (
5719 )
on the just and on the unjust .
*
For if ye love (
5661 )
them which love (
5723 )
you ,
what reward have ye (
5719 )?
do (
5719 )
not even the publicans the same ?
