马太福音 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
论福(A)
5 耶稣看见群众，就上了山；他坐下之后，门徒来到他跟前， 2 他就开口教训他们：
3 “心灵贫乏的人有福了，
因为天国是他们的。
4 哀痛的人有福了，
因为他们必得安慰。
5 温柔的人有福了，
因为他们必承受地土。
6 爱慕公义如饥如渴的人有福了，
因为他们必得饱足。
7 怜悯人的人有福了，
因为他们必蒙怜悯。
8 内心清洁的人有福了，
因为他们必看见 神。
9 使人和平的人有福了，
因为他们必称为 神的儿子。
10 为义遭受迫害的人有福了，
因为天国是他们的。
11 人若因我的缘故辱骂你们，迫害你们，并且捏造各样坏话毁谤你们，你们就有福了。 12 你们应该欢喜快乐，因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的；在你们以前的先知，他们也曾这样迫害。
门徒作盐作光(B)
13 “你们是地上的盐；如果盐失了味，怎能使它再咸呢？结果毫无用处，唯有丢在外面任人践踏。 14 你们是世上的光。建在山上的城是无法隐藏的； 15 人点了灯，不会放在量器底下，而是放在灯台上，就照亮一家人。 16 照样，你们的光也应当照在人前，让他们看见你们的好行为，又颂赞你们在天上的父。
论律法
17 “你们不要以为我来是要废除律法和先知；我来不是要废除，而是要完成。 18 我实在告诉你们，就算天地过去，律法的一点一画也不会废去，全部都要成就。 19 因此，无论谁废除诫命中最小的一条，又这样教导人，他在天国中必称为最小的；但若有人遵行这些诫命，并且教导人遵行，他在天国中必称为大。 20 我告诉你们，你们的义若不胜过经学家和法利赛人的义，就必不能进天国。
不可恨人(C)
21 “你们听过有这样吩咐古人的话：‘不可杀人，杀人的必被判罪。’ 22 可是我告诉你们，凡是向弟兄发怒的，必被判罪。人若说弟兄是‘拉加’，必被公议会审判；人若说弟兄是‘摩利’，必难逃地狱的火。 23 所以你在祭坛上献供物的时候，如果在那里想起你的弟兄对你不满， 24 就当在坛前放下供物，先去与弟兄和好，然后才来献你的供物。 25 趁着你和你的对头还在路上的时候，要赶快与他和解，免得他抓你去见法官，法官把你交给狱警，关在监里。 26 我实在告诉你，除非你还清最后一分钱，否则决不能从那里出来。
不可动淫念
27 “你们听过有这样的吩咐：‘不可奸淫。’ 28 可是我告诉你们，凡是看见妇女就动淫念的，心里已经犯了奸淫。 29 如果你的右眼使你犯罪，就把它挖出来丢掉；宁可失去身体的一部分，胜过全身被丢进地狱里。 30 如果你的右手使你犯罪，就把它砍下来丢掉；宁可失去身体的一部分，胜过全身进到地狱里去。
不可休妻(D)
31 “又有这样的吩咐：‘人若休妻，就应当给她休书。’ 32 可是我告诉你们，凡休妻的，如果不是因她不贞，就是促使她犯奸淫；无论谁娶了被休的妇人，也就是犯奸淫了。
不可发誓
33 “你们又听过有这样吩咐古人的话：‘不可背约，向主许的愿都要偿还。’ 34 可是我告诉你们，总不可发誓，不可指着天发誓，因为天是 神的宝座； 35 不可指着地发誓，因为地是 神的脚凳；不可指着耶路撒冷发誓，因为它是大君王的京城； 36 也不可指着自己的头发誓，因为你不能使一根头发变白或变黑。 37 你们的话，是就说‘是’，不是就说‘不是’；如果再多说，就是出于那恶者。
不可报复(E)
38 “你们听过有这样的吩咐：‘以眼还眼，以牙还牙。’ 39 可是我告诉你们，不要与恶人对抗，有人打你的右脸，把另一边也转过来让他打； 40 有人要告你，想拿你的衬衫，就连外套也让他拿去。 41 有人要强迫你走一里路，就陪他走两里。 42 有求你的，就给他；想借贷的，也不可拒绝。
当爱仇敌(F)
43 “你们听过有这样的吩咐：‘当爱你的邻舍，恨你的仇敌。’ 44 可是我告诉你们，当爱你们的仇敌，为迫害你们的祈祷， 45 好叫你们成为你们天父的儿子；因为他使太阳照恶人，也照好人；降雨给义人，也给不义的人。 46 如果你们只爱那些爱你们的人，有甚么赏赐呢？税吏不也是这样作吗？ 47 如果你们单问候你们的弟兄，有甚么特别呢？教外人不也是这样作吗？ 48 所以你们要完全，正如你们的天父是完全的。”
Matthew 5
1599 Geneva Bible
5 1 Who are blessed. 13 The Apostles are the salt and light of the world. 14 The city set on an hill. 15 The candle. 16 Good works. 19 The fulfilling of Christ’s commandments. 21 What killing is. 23 Reconciliation is set before sacrifice. 27 Adultery. 29 The plucking out of the eye. 30 Cutting off of the hand. 31 The bill of divorcement. 33 Not to swear. 44 To love our enemies. 48 Perfectness.
1 And when he saw the multitude, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came to him.
2 [a]And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 (A)Blessed are the [b]poor in [c]spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 (B)Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 (C)Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 (D)Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the (E)[d]pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they (F)which suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 (G)Blessed shall ye be when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you for my sake, falsely.
12 Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you.
13 (H)Ye [e]are the salt of the [f]earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be [g]salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the [h]light of the world. A city that is set on an hill, cannot be hid.
15 (I)Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 (J)Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.
17 [i]Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy them, but to [j]fulfill them.
18 (K)For truly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the Law shall not escape, till all things be fulfilled.
19 (L)[k]Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and teach men so, he shall be called the [l]least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall observe and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, except your righteousness (M)exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 [m]Ye have heard that it was said unto them of the old time, (N)Thou shalt not kill: for whosoever killeth shall be culpable of judgment.
22 But I say unto you, whosoever is angry with his brother unadvisedly, shall be [n]culpable [o]of judgment. And whosoever saith unto his brother, Raca, shall be worthy to be punished by the [p]Council. And whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be worthy to be punished with [q]hell [r]fire.
23 [s]If then thou bring thy gift to the [t]altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee,
24 Leave there thine offering before the altar, and go thy way: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 (O)[u]Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him, lest thine adversary deliver thee to the Judge, and the Judge deliver thee to the sergeant, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast [v]paid the utmost farthing.
27 ¶ [w]Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, (P)Thou shalt not commit adultery.
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.
29 (Q)Wherefore if thy [x]right eye cause thee [y]to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee, that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 Also if thy right hand make thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee, that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said also, (R)Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorcement.
32 But I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife (except it be for fornication) causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery.
33 [z]Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, (S)Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform thine oaths to the Lord.
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God:
35 Nor yet by the earth, for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem: for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thine head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 (T)But let your communication be [aa]Yea, yea: Nay, nay. For whatsoever is more than these, cometh of [ab]evil.
38 ¶ [ac]Ye have heard that it hath been said, An (U)eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 But I say unto you, (V)Resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever will compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 (W)Give to him that asketh, and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, (X)Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, (Y)Love your enemies: bless them that curse you: do good to them that hate you, (Z)and pray for them which hurt you, and persecute you,
45 (AA)[ad]That ye may be the children of your father that is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to arise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and unjust.
46 For if ye love them, which love you, what reward shall you have? Do not the Publicans even the same?
47 And if ye be friendly to your brethren only, what singular thing do ye? do not even the [ae]Publicans likewise?
48 Ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father which is in heaven, is perfect.

- Matthew 5:17 That the prophecies may be accomplished.

- Matthew 5:22 Whereas we read here, Hell, it is in the text itself, Gehenna, which is an Hebrew word made of two, and is as much to say, as the Valley of Hinnom, which otherwise the Hebrews called Tophet: it was a place where the Israelites were wont most cruelly to sacrifice their children to false gods, whereupon it was taken for a place appointed to torment the reprobates in Jer. 7:31.
- Matthew 5:22 The Jews used four kinds of punishments, before their government was taken away by Herod, hanging, heading, stoning, and burning: this is it that Christ shot at, because burning was the greatest punishment, therefore in that he maketh mention of a judgment, a council, and a fire, he showeth that some sins are worse than other sins, but yet they are all such that we must give account for them, and will be punished for them.
- Matthew 5:23 The covetous Pharisees taught that God was appeased by the sacrifices appointed in the Law, which they themselves devoured. But Christ on the contrary side denieth that God accepteth any man’s offering, unless he maketh satisfaction to his brother whom he hath offended: and saith moreover, that these stubborn and stiffnecked despisers of their brethren, shall never escape the wrath and curse of God, before they have made full satisfaction to their brethren.
- Matthew 5:23 He applieth all this speech to the state of his time, when as there was an altar standing in Jerusalem, and therefore they are very foolish, that gather hereupon, that we must build altars, and use sacrifices: but they are more fools, which draw that to purgatory, which is spoken of peacemaking and atonement one with another.
