- Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall be comforted. - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied. - Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God. - Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God. - Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
- You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
- You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
- Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
- Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
- For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
- Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
- You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.
- But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
- Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.
- But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
- You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
