馬太福音 5
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
山上寶訓
5 耶穌看見這一羣人,就上了山,坐下後,門徒到他跟前來, 2 他開口教導他們說:
論福(A)
3 「心靈貧窮的人有福了!
因為天國是他們的。
4 哀慟的人有福了!
因為他們必得安慰。
5 謙和的人有福了!
因為他們必承受土地。
6 飢渴慕義的人有福了!
因為他們必得飽足。
7 憐憫人的人有福了!
因為他們必蒙憐憫。
8 清心的人有福了!
因為他們必得見 神。
9 締造和平的人有福了!
因為他們必稱為 神的兒子。
10 為義受迫害的人有福了!
因為天國是他們的。
11 「人若因我辱罵你們,迫害你們,捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們[a],你們就有福了! 12 要歡喜快樂,因為你們在天上的賞賜是很多的。在你們以前的先知,人也是這樣迫害他們。」
鹽和光(B)
13 「你們是地上的鹽。鹽若失了味,怎能叫它再鹹呢?它不再有用,只好被丟在外面,任人踐踏。 14 你們是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隱藏的。 15 人點燈,不放在斗底下,而是放在燈臺上,就照亮一家的人。 16 你們的光也要這樣照在人前,叫他們看見你們的好行為,把榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。」
論律法
17 「不要以為我來是要廢掉律法和先知。我來不是要廢掉,而是要成全。 18 我實在告訴你們,就是到天地都廢去,律法的一點一畫也不能廢去,直到一切都實現。 19 所以,無論誰廢掉這誡命中最小的一條,又教導人也這樣做,他在天國裏要稱為最小的。但無論誰遵行並如此教導人的,他在天國裏要稱為大。 20 我告訴你們,你們的義若不勝過文士和法利賽人的義,絕不能進天國。」
論發怒
21 「你們聽過有對古人說:『不可殺人』;『凡殺人的,必須受審判。』 22 但是我告訴你們:凡向弟兄動怒的,必須受審判;凡罵弟兄是廢物的,必須受議會的審判;凡罵弟兄是白痴的,必須遭受地獄的火。 23 所以,你在祭壇上獻祭物的時候,若想起有弟兄對你懷恨, 24 就要把祭物留在壇前,先去跟弟兄和好,然後來獻祭物。 25 你同告你的冤家還在路上,就要趕快與他講和,免得他把你送交給法官,法官交給警衛,你就下在監裏了。 26 我實在告訴你,就是有一個大文錢[b]還沒有還清,你也絕不能從那裏出來。」
論姦淫
27 「你們聽過有話說:『不可姦淫。』 28 但是我告訴你們:凡看見婦女就動淫念的,這人心裏已經與她犯姦淫了。 29 若是你的右眼使你跌倒,就把它挖出來,丟掉。寧可失去身體中的一部分,也不讓整個身體被扔進地獄。 30 若是你的右手使你跌倒,就把它砍下來,丟掉。寧可失去身體中的一部分,也不讓整個身體下地獄。」
論休妻(C)
31 「又有話說:『無論誰休妻,都要給她休書。』 32 但是我告訴你們:凡休妻的,除非是因不貞的緣故,否則就是使她犯姦淫了;人若娶被休的婦人,也是犯姦淫了。」
論起誓
33 「你們又聽過有對古人說:『不可背誓,所起的誓總要向主謹守。』 34 但是我告訴你們:甚麼誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓,因為天是 神的寶座。 35 不可指着地起誓,因為地是他的腳凳;也不可指着耶路撒冷起誓,因為耶路撒冷是大君王的京城。 36 又不可指着你的頭起誓,因為你不能使一根頭髮變黑變白。 37 你們的話,是,就說是;不是,就說不是。若再多說,就是出於那惡者。」
論報復(D)
38 「你們聽過有話說:『以眼還眼,以牙還牙。』 39 但是我告訴你們:不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉,連另一邊也轉過去由他打。 40 有人想要告你,要拿你的裏衣,連外衣也由他拿去。 41 有人強迫你走一里[c]路,你就跟他走二里。 42 有求你的,就給他;有向你借貸的,不可推辭。」
論愛仇敵(E)
43 「你們聽過有話說:『要愛你的鄰舍,恨你的仇敵。』 44 但是我告訴你們:要愛你們的仇敵,為那迫害你們的禱告。 45 這樣,你們就可以作天父的兒女了。因為他叫太陽照好人,也照壞人;降雨給義人,也給不義的人。 46 你們若只愛那愛你們的人,有甚麼賞賜呢?就是稅吏不也是這樣做嗎? 47 你們若只請你弟兄的安,有甚麼比別人強呢?就是外邦人不也是這樣做嗎? 48 所以,你們要完全,如同你們的天父是完全的。」
Matthew 5
English Standard Version
The Sermon on the Mount
5 Seeing the crowds, (A)he went up on the mountain, and when he (B)sat down, his disciples came to him.
The Beatitudes
2 And (C)he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 (D)“Blessed are (E)the poor in spirit, for (F)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Blessed are (G)those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the (H)meek, for they (I)shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and (J)thirst (K)for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are (L)the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are (M)the pure in heart, for (N)they shall see God.
9 “Blessed are (O)the peacemakers, for (P)they shall be called (Q)sons[a] of God.
10 (R)“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for (S)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 (T)“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely (U)on my account. 12 (V)Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for (W)so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth, (X)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.
14 (Y)“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 (Z)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. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so (AA)that[b] they may see your good works and (AB)give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
17 (AC)“Do not think that I have come to abolish (AD)the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but (AE)to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, (AF)until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 (AG)Therefore whoever relaxes (AH)one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least (AI)in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great (AJ)in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds (AK)that of the scribes and Pharisees, you (AL)will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Anger
21 (AM)“You have heard that it was said to those of old, (AN)‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable (AO)to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that (AP)everyone who is angry with his brother[c] will be liable (AQ)to judgment; whoever insults[d] his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to (AR)the hell[e] of fire. 23 (AS)So if (AT)you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 (AU)Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26 Truly, I say to you, (AV)you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.[f]
Lust
27 (AW)“You have heard that it was said, (AX)‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that (AY)everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 (AZ)If your right eye (BA)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 (BB)hell. 30 (BC)And if your right hand (BD)causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into (BE)hell.
Divorce
31 (BF)“It was also said, (BG)‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 (BH)But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and (BI)whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Oaths
33 “Again (BJ)you have heard that it was said to those of old, (BK)‘You shall not swear falsely, but (BL)shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, (BM)Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for (BN)it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is (BO)the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; (BP)anything more than this comes from evil.[g]
Retaliation
38 (BQ)“You have heard that it was said, (BR)‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, (BS)Do not resist the one who is evil. But (BT)if anyone (BU)slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And (BV)if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,[h] let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone (BW)forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 (BX)Give to the one who begs from you, and (BY)do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
Love Your Enemies
43 (BZ)“You have heard that it was said, (CA)‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, (CB)Love your enemies and (CC)pray for those who persecute you, 45 (CD)so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and (CE)sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 (CF)For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers,[i] what more are you doing than others? Do not even (CG)the Gentiles do the same? 48 (CH)You therefore must be (CI)perfect, (CJ)as your heavenly Father is perfect.

New International Version
Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes(A)
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(B)
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.(C)
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.(D)
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.(E)
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.(F)
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,(G)
for they will see God.(H)
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,(I)
for they will be called children of God.(J)
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,(K)
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(L)
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you,(M) persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.(N) 12 Rejoice and be glad,(O) because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.(P)
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.(Q)
14 “You are the light of the world.(R) A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.(S) 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,(T) that they may see your good deeds(U) and glorify(V) your Father in heaven.
The Fulfillment of the Law
17 “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.(W) 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.(X) 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands(Y) and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.(Z)
Murder(AA)
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a](AB) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry(AC) with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment.(AD) Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court.(AE) And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.(AF)
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e](AG) 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.(AH) 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble,(AI) gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble,(AJ) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[f](AK) 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(AL)
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath,(AM) but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’(AN) 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:(AO) either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;(AP) 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.(AQ) 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;(AR) anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[g](AS)
Eye for Eye
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h](AT) 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.(AU) 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.(AV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i](AW) and hate your enemy.’(AX) 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,(AY) 45 that you may be children(AZ) of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.(BA) 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?(BB) Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.(BC)

King James Version
5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the 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 which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 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 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
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.
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.
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.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
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.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
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.
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.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, 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 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.
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.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
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.
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:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor 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 thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
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.
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 shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
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;
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.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matei 5
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Predica de pe Munte: Fericirile
5 Când a văzut Isus mulţimile, a urcat pe munte[a] şi S-a aşezat jos. Ucenicii Săi au venit la El, 2 iar El a început să vorbească şi să-i înveţe astfel:
3 „Ferice de cei săraci în duh,
căci a lor este Împărăţia Cerurilor!
4 Ferice de cei îndureraţi,
căci ei vor fi mângâiaţi!
5 Ferice de cei blânzi,
căci ei vor moşteni pământul[b]!
6 Ferice de cei flămânzi şi însetaţi după dreptate,
căci ei vor fi săturaţi!
7 Ferice de cei milostivi,
căci ei vor avea parte de milă!
8 Ferice de cei cu inima curată,
căci ei Îl vor vedea pe Dumnezeu!
9 Ferice de cei împăciuitori,
căci ei vor fi numiţi fii ai lui Dumnezeu!
10 Ferice de cei persecutaţi din pricina dreptăţii,
căci a lor este Împărăţia Cerurilor!
11 Ferice de voi când oamenii vă insultă, vă persecută şi spun tot felul de lucruri rele, (minţind)[c] împotriva voastră, din pricina Mea! 12 Bucuraţi-vă şi veseliţi-vă, pentru că răsplata voastră este mare în ceruri! Căci tot aşa i-au persecutat şi pe profeţii dinaintea voastră!
Sarea pământului şi lumina lumii
13 Voi sunteţi sarea pământului. Dar dacă sarea îşi pierde gustul, prin ce va fi făcută din nou sărată?! Nu mai este bună la nimic, decât să fie aruncată afară şi călcată în picioare de oameni.
14 Voi sunteţi lumina lumii. O cetate aşezată pe un munte nu poate să rămână ascunsă. 15 Şi nimeni nu aprinde un felinar ca să-l pună sub un oboroc, ci îl pune pe un suport şi astfel el luminează tuturor celor din casă. 16 Tot aşa să lumineze şi lumina voastră înaintea oamenilor, ca ei să vadă faptele voastre bune şi să-L slăvească pe Tatăl vostru, Care este în ceruri.
Isus şi împlinirea Legii
17 Să nu credeţi că am venit să anulez Legea sau Profeţii[d]! Nu am venit să anulez, ci să împlinesc. 18 Căci adevărat vă spun că, atâta vreme cât nu vor trece cerul şi pământul, nici măcar o iotă[e] sau o parte a vreunei litere[f] nu va fi înlăturată din Lege, înainte să se întâmple toate lucrurile. 19 Aşa că oricine încalcă una din cele mai mici din aceste porunci şi îi învaţă şi pe alţii să facă la fel va fi numit cel mai mic în Împărăţia Cerurilor. Dar oricine le împlineşte şi îi învaţă şi pe alţii să facă la fel va fi numit mare în Împărăţia Cerurilor. 20 Căci vă spun că, dacă dreptatea voastră nu o întrece pe cea a cărturarilor şi a fariseilor, cu nici un chip nu veţi intra în Împărăţia Cerurilor.
Despre mânie şi ucidere
21 Aţi auzit că li s-a zis celor din vechime: «Să nu ucizi![g] Oricine ucide va cădea sub pedeapsa judecăţii». 22 Dar Eu vă spun că oricine se mânie pe fratele său[h] va cădea sub pedeapsa judecăţii şi oricine îi va zice fratelui său: «Prostule![i]» va cădea sub pedeapsa Sinedriului[j]; iar cel ce-i va zice: «Nebunule[k]!» va cădea sub pedeapsa focului Gheenei[l].
23 Aşa că, dacă îţi aduci darul la altar şi acolo îţi aminteşti că fratele tău are ceva împotriva ta, 24 lasă-ţi darul acolo, înaintea altarului, şi du-te mai întâi să te împaci cu fratele tău. Apoi vino şi adu-ţi darul.
25 Caută să te împaci cât mai repede cu acuzatorul tău, câtă vreme eşti cu el pe drum, ca nu cumva acuzatorul tău să te dea pe mâna judecătorului, judecătorul să te dea pe mâna temnicerului şi să fii aruncat în închisoare! 26 Adevărat îţi spun că nu vei ieşi de acolo până când nu vei fi plătit şi ultimul codrantes[m]!
Despre adulter şi divorţ
27 Aţi auzit că s-a zis: «Să nu comiţi adulter!»[n]. 28 Dar Eu vă spun că oricine se uită cu poftă la o femeie a şi comis adulter cu ea în inima lui. 29 Deci, dacă ochiul tău cel drept te face să păcătuieşti, scoate-l afară şi aruncă-l, căci este spre folosul tău să-ţi pierzi unul din mădulare, decât să-ţi fie aruncat în Gheenă tot trupul. 30 Iar dacă mâna ta cea dreaptă te face să păcătuieşti, taie-o şi arunc-o, căci este spre folosul tău să-ţi pierzi unul din mădulare, decât să-ţi meargă în Gheenă tot trupul. 31 S-a mai zis: «Oricine divorţează de soţia lui să-i dea o carte de despărţire»[o]. 32 Dar Eu vă spun că oricine divorţează de soţia lui, în afară de cazul în care este vorba de imoralitate[p], o împinge să comită adulter, iar cel ce se căsătoreşte cu o femeie divorţată comite şi el adulter.
Despre jurăminte
33 Din nou, aţi auzit că li s-a zis celor din vechime: «Să nu juri fals, ci să împlineşti faţă de Domnul jurămintele tale»[q]. 34 Dar Eu vă spun să nu juraţi deloc: nici pe cer, pentru că este tronul lui Dumnezeu; 35 nici pe pământ, pentru că este aşternutul picioarelor Lui; nici pe Ierusalim, pentru că este cetatea marelui Împărat; 36 să nu juri nici măcar pe capul tău, pentru că nu poţi face nici măcar un fir de păr alb sau negru. 37 Vorbirea voastră să fie astfel: «Da» să fie «Da» şi «Nu» să fie «Nu»[r]. Ce trece peste aceste cuvinte vine de la cel rău.
Despre răzbunare
38 Aţi auzit că s-a zis: «Ochi pentru ochi şi dinte pentru dinte»[s]. 39 Dar Eu vă spun să nu vă împotriviţi celui ce vă face rău. Ci aceluia care te loveşte peste obrazul drept, întoarce-i-l şi pe celălalt. 40 Celui ce vrea să te dea în judecată şi să-ţi ia tunica, lasă-i şi haina, 41 iar dacă cineva te obligă[t] să mergi cu el o milă[u], mergi cu el două mile. 42 Celui ce-ţi cere, dă-i, iar pe cel ce vrea să se împrumute de la tine să nu-l refuzi.
Iubirea duşmanilor
43 Aţi auzit că s-a zis: «Să-l iubeşti pe semenul tău[v] şi să-l urăşti pe duşmanul tău». 44 Dar Eu vă spun: iubiţi-vă duşmanii[w] şi rugaţi-vă pentru cei ce vă persecută, 45 ca să fiţi astfel fii ai Tatălui vostru, Care este în ceruri! Căci El face să răsară soarele Lui şi peste cei răi, şi peste cei buni şi trimite ploaie şi peste cei drepţi, şi peste cei nedrepţi. 46 Dacă-i iubiţi doar pe cei ce vă iubesc, ce răsplată veţi avea? Oare colectorii de taxe[x] nu fac la fel?
47 Şi dacă vă întâmpinaţi cu dragoste doar fraţii, ce lucru neobişnuit faceţi? Oare neamurile[y] nu fac la fel? 48 Fiţi deci desăvârşiţi, aşa cum şi Tatăl vostru cel ceresc este desăvârşit!
Footnotes
- Matei 5:1 Sau: pe un versant
- Matei 5:5 Sau: ţara; vezi Ps. 37:11 şi nota; vezi contextul versetului în Ps. 37, psalm în care apare aşa-numitul principiu al retribuţiei, conform căruia cel drept îşi primeşte răsplata în viaţa aceasta. Acest lucru nu înseamnă că Isus reiterează acest principiu în Predica de pe Munte. Însăşi cartea Psalmilor pare a infirma valabilitatea absolută a acestui principiu (vezi Ps. 73)

- Matei 5:17 Adică Vechiul Testament, care era împărţit în trei secţiuni: Legea, Profeţii şi Scrierile

- Matei 5:22 Gr.: moros; sensul termenului grecesc este nesigur; posibil o transliterare a termenului ebraic moreh (răzvrătit)
- Matei 5:22 Gr.: Ghe(h)ena, termen ce desemna Valea (fiilor lui) Hinom (ebr.: Ghe-Hinom), o vale situată la sud de Ierusalim, loc unde, în vremea lui Ahaz şi Manase, îi erau aduse sacrificii umane zeului amonit Moleh (2 Cron. 28:3; 33:6); Iosia a profanat valea (2 Regi 23:10), care a devenit apoi un loc în care deşeurile ardeau continuu; valea a devenit o imagine a locului pedepsei finale; şi în vs. 29, 30
- Matei 5:26 Sau: cvadrant, cea mai mică monedă romană din bronz; a 4-a parte dintr-un as (vezi nota de la 10:29) şi a 64-a dintr-un denar (vezi nota de la 20:2)

- Matei 5:38 Vezi Exod 21:24; Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21
- Matei 5:41 Acelaşi termen grecesc este folosit şi în 27:32; soldaţii romani aveau dreptul de a le pretinde civililor să le transporte bagajele
- Matei 5:41 Aproximativ 1475 m
- Matei 5:43 Vezi Lev. 19:18
- Matei 5:44 Multe mss mai târzii adaugă: duşmanii, binecuvântaţi-i pe cei ce vă blestemă, faceţi-le bine celor ce vă urăsc, probabil pentru a se armoniza cu Lc. 6:27-28
- Matei 5:46 Localnici angajaţi de romani pentru a colecta taxele pentru ei; deoarece lucrau pentru romani şi pentru că adesea pretindeau o taxă mai mare decât cea reală, erau urâţi de oameni şi consideraţi trădători; erau paria ai societăţii, neavând dreptul să fie martori într-un proces, să fie judecători sau membri într-o sinagogă; peste tot în carte
