Matthew 5
New American Standard Bible
The Sermon on the Mount; The Beatitudes
5 (A)Now when Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on (B)the [a]mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. 2 And (C)He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,
3 “[b](D)Blessed are the poor in spirit, for (E)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Blessed are (F)those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 “Blessed are (G)the [c]gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are (H)those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are (I)the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are (J)the pure in heart, for (K)they will see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for (L)they will be called sons of God.
10 “Blessed are those who have been (M)persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for (N)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people (O)insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for (P)in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Disciples and the World
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but (Q)if the salt has become tasteless, how [d]can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people.
14 “You are (R)the light of the world. A city set on a [e]hill cannot be hidden; 15 (S)nor do people light a lamp and put it under a [f]basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may (T)see your good works, and (U)glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Do not presume that I came to abolish the (V)Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, (W)until heaven and earth pass away, not [g]the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished! 19 Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches [h]others to do the same, shall be called least (X)in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever [i]keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 “For I say to you that unless your (Y)righteousness far surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Personal Relationships
21 “(Z)You have heard that [j]the ancients were told, ‘(AA)You shall not murder,’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be answerable to (AB)the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to (AC)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘[k]You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to [l](AD)the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the [m](AE)fiery hell. 23 Therefore, if you are (AF)presenting your [n]offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your [o]offering there before the altar and go; first be (AG)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your [p]offering. 25 [q](AH)Come to good terms with your accuser quickly, while you are with him on the way to court, so that your accuser will not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will not be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I say to you, (AI)you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last [r]quadrans.
27 “(AJ)You have heard that it was said, ‘(AK)You shall not commit adultery’; 28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman (AL)with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 Now (AM)if your right eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, [s]than for your whole body to be thrown into [t](AN)hell. 30 And (AO)if your right hand is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you [u]to lose one of the parts of your body, [v]than for your whole body to go into [w](AP)hell.
31 “Now it was said, ‘(AQ)Whoever sends his wife away is to give her a certificate of divorce’; 32 (AR)but I say to you that everyone who [x]divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a [y]divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Again, (AS)you have heard that [z]the ancients were told, ‘[aa](AT)You shall not [ab]make false vows, but shall fulfill your [ac]vows to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, (AU)take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is (AV)the throne of God, 35 nor by the earth, for it is the (AW)footstool of His feet, nor [ad]by Jerusalem, for it is (AX)the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you take an oath by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 But make sure your statement is, ‘[ae]Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is [af]of (AY)evil origin.
38 “(AZ)You have heard that it was said, ‘(BA)Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but (BB)whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your [ag]tunic, let him have your [ah]cloak also. 41 Whoever [ai]forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 (BC)Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
43 “(BD)You have heard that it was said, ‘(BE)You shall love your neighbor (BF)and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, (BG)love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may prove yourselves to be (BH)sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For (BI)if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors, do they not do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Even the Gentiles, do they not do the same? 48 Therefore (BJ)you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

5 耶 稣 看 见 这 许 多 的 人 , 就 上 了 山 , 既 已 坐 下 , 门 徒 到 他 跟 前 来 ,
2 他 就 开 口 教 训 他 们 , 说 :
3 虚 心 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 为 天 国 是 他 们 的 。
4 哀 恸 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 饥 渴 慕 义 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 为 他 们 必 得 饱 足 。
7 怜 恤 人 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 为 他 们 必 蒙 怜 恤 。
8 清 心 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 为 他 们 必 得 见 神 。
9 使 人 和 睦 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 为 他 们 必 称 为 神 的 儿 子 。
10 为 义 受 逼 迫 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 为 天 国 是 他 们 的 。
11 人 若 因 我 辱 骂 你 们 , 逼 迫 你 们 , 捏 造 各 样 坏 话 毁 谤 你 们 , 你 们 就 有 福 了 !
12 应 当 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 , 人 也 是 这 样 逼 迫 他 们 。
13 你 们 是 世 上 的 盐 。 盐 若 失 了 味 , 怎 能 叫 他 再 咸 呢 ? 以 後 无 用 , 不 过 丢 在 外 面 , 被 人 践 踏 了 。
14 你 们 是 世 上 的 光 。 城 造 在 山 上 是 不 能 隐 藏 的 。
15 人 点 灯 , 不 放 在 斗 底 下 , 是 放 在 灯 ? 上 , 就 照 亮 一 家 的 人 。
16 你 们 的 光 也 当 这 样 照 在 人 前 , 叫 他 们 看 见 你 们 的 好 行 为 , 便 将 荣 耀 归 给 你 们 在 天 上 的 父 。
17 莫 想 我 来 要 废 掉 律 法 和 先 知 。 我 来 不 是 要 废 掉 , 乃 是 要 成 全 。
18 我 实 在 告 诉 你 们 , 就 是 到 天 地 都 废 去 了 , 律 法 的 一 点 一 画 也 不 能 废 去 , 都 要 成 全 。
19 所 以 , 无 论 何 人 废 掉 这 诫 命 中 最 小 的 一 条 , 又 教 训 人 这 样 作 , 他 在 天 国 要 称 为 最 小 的 。 但 无 论 何 人 遵 行 这 诫 命 , 又 教 训 人 遵 行 , 他 在 天 国 要 称 为 大 的 。
20 我 告 诉 你 们 , 你 们 的 义 若 不 胜 於 文 士 和 法 利 赛 人 的 义 , 断 不 能 进 天 国 。
21 你 们 听 见 有 吩 咐 古 人 的 话 , 说 : 不 可 杀 人 ; 又 说 : 凡 杀 人 的 难 免 受 审 判 。
22 只 是 我 告 诉 你 们 : 凡 ( 有 古 卷 在 凡 字 下 加 : 无 缘 无 故 地 ) 向 弟 兄 动 怒 的 , 难 免 受 审 断 ; 凡 骂 弟 兄 是 拉 加 的 , 难 免 公 会 的 审 断 ; 凡 骂 弟 兄 是 魔 利 的 , 难 免 地 狱 的 火 。
23 所 以 , 你 在 祭 坛 上 献 礼 物 的 时 候 , 若 想 起 弟 兄 向 你 怀 怨 ,
24 就 把 礼 物 留 在 坛 前 , 先 去 同 弟 兄 和 好 , 然 後 来 献 礼 物 。
25 你 同 告 你 的 对 头 还 在 路 上 , 就 赶 紧 与 他 和 息 , 恐 怕 他 把 你 送 给 审 判 官 , 审 判 官 交 付 衙 役 , 你 就 下 在 监 里 了 。
26 我 实 在 告 诉 你 , 若 有 一 文 钱 没 有 还 清 , 你 断 不 能 从 那 里 出 来 。
27 你 们 听 见 有 话 说 : 不 可 奸 淫 。
28 只 是 我 告 诉 你 们 , 凡 看 见 妇 女 就 动 淫 念 的 , 这 人 心 里 已 经 与 他 犯 奸 淫 了 。
29 若 是 你 的 右 眼 叫 你 跌 倒 , 就 剜 出 来 丢 掉 , 宁 可 失 去 百 体 中 的 一 体 , 不 叫 全 身 丢 在 地 狱 里 。
30 若 是 右 手 叫 你 跌 倒 , 就 砍 下 来 丢 掉 , 宁 可 失 去 百 体 中 的 一 体 , 不 叫 全 身 下 入 地 狱 。
31 又 有 话 说 : 人 若 休 妻 , 就 当 给 他 休 书 。
32 只 是 我 告 诉 你 们 , 凡 休 妻 的 , 若 不 是 为 淫 乱 的 缘 故 , 就 是 叫 他 作 淫 妇 了 ; 人 若 娶 这 被 休 的 妇 人 , 也 是 犯 奸 淫 了 。
33 你 们 又 听 见 有 吩 咐 古 人 的 话 , 说 : 不 可 背 誓 , 所 起 的 誓 总 要 向 主 谨 守 。
34 只 是 我 告 诉 你 们 , 甚 麽 誓 都 不 可 起 。 不 可 指 着 天 起 誓 , 因 为 天 是 神 的 座 位 ;
35 不 可 指 着 地 起 誓 , 因 为 地 是 他 的 脚 凳 ; 也 不 可 指 着 耶 路 撒 冷 起 誓 , 因 为 耶 路 撒 冷 是 大 君 的 京 城 ;
36 又 不 可 指 着 你 的 头 起 誓 , 因 为 你 不 能 使 一 根 头 发 变 黑 变 白 了 。
37 你 们 的 话 , 是 , 就 说 是 ; 不 是 , 就 说 不 是 ; 若 再 多 说 , 就 是 出 於 那 恶 者 ( 或 作 : 就 是 从 恶 里 出 来 的 ) 。
38 你 们 听 见 有 话 说 : 以 眼 还 眼 , 以 牙 还 牙 。
39 只 是 我 告 诉 你 们 , 不 要 与 恶 人 作 对 。 有 人 打 你 的 右 脸 , 连 左 脸 也 转 过 来 由 他 打 ;
40 有 人 想 要 告 你 , 要 拿 你 的 里 衣 , 连 外 衣 也 由 他 拿 去 ;
41 有 人 强 逼 你 走 一 里 路 , 你 就 同 他 走 二 里 ;
42 有 求 你 的 , 就 给 他 ; 有 向 你 借 贷 的 , 不 可 推 辞 。
43 你 们 听 见 有 话 说 : 当 爱 你 的 邻 舍 , 恨 你 的 仇 敌 。
44 只 是 我 告 诉 你 们 , 要 爱 你 们 的 仇 敌 , 为 那 逼 迫 你 们 的 祷 告 。
45 这 样 就 可 以 作 你 们 天 父 的 儿 子 ; 因 为 他 叫 日 头 照 好 人 , 也 照 歹 人 ; 降 雨 给 义 人 , 也 给 不 义 的 人 。
46 你 们 若 单 爱 那 爱 你 们 的 人 , 有 甚 麽 赏 赐 呢 ? 就 是 税 吏 不 也 是 这 样 行 麽 ?
47 你 们 若 单 请 你 弟 兄 的 安 , 比 人 有 甚 麽 长 处 呢 ? 就 是 外 邦 人 不 也 是 这 样 行 麽 ?
48 所 以 , 你 们 要 完 全 , 像 你 们 的 天 父 完 全 一 样 。
Matthew 5
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.
Matthew 5
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)

Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
山上宝训
5 耶稣看见这一群人,就上了山,坐下后,门徒到他跟前来, 2 他开口教导他们说:
论福(A)
3 “心灵贫穷的人有福了!
因为天国是他们的。
4 哀恸的人有福了!
因为他们必得安慰。
5 谦和的人有福了!
因为他们必承受土地。
6 饥渴慕义的人有福了!
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 清心的人有福了!
因为他们必得见 神。
9 缔造和平的人有福了!
因为他们必称为 神的儿子。
10 为义受迫害的人有福了!
因为天国是他们的。
11 “人若因我辱骂你们,迫害你们,捏造各样坏话毁谤你们[a],你们就有福了! 12 要欢喜快乐,因为你们在天上的赏赐是很多的。在你们以前的先知,人也是这样迫害他们。”
盐和光(B)
13 “你们是地上的盐。盐若失了味,怎能叫它再咸呢?它不再有用,只好被丢在外面,任人践踏。 14 你们是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隐藏的。 15 人点灯,不放在斗底下,而是放在灯台上,就照亮一家的人。 16 你们的光也要这样照在人前,叫他们看见你们的好行为,把荣耀归给你们在天上的父。”
论律法
17 “不要以为我来是要废掉律法和先知。我来不是要废掉,而是要成全。 18 我实在告诉你们,就是到天地都废去,律法的一点一画也不能废去,直到一切都实现。 19 所以,无论谁废掉这诫命中最小的一条,又教导人也这样做,他在天国里要称为最小的。但无论谁遵行并如此教导人的,他在天国里要称为大。 20 我告诉你们,你们的义若不胜过文士和法利赛人的义,绝不能进天国。”
论发怒
21 “你们听过有对古人说:‘不可杀人’;‘凡杀人的,必须受审判。’ 22 但是我告诉你们:凡向弟兄动怒的,必须受审判;凡骂弟兄是废物的,必须受议会的审判;凡骂弟兄是白痴的,必须遭受地狱的火。 23 所以,你在祭坛上献祭物的时候,若想起有弟兄对你怀恨, 24 就要把祭物留在坛前,先去跟弟兄和好,然后来献祭物。 25 你同告你的冤家还在路上,就要赶快与他讲和,免得他把你送交给法官,法官交给警卫,你就下在监里了。 26 我实在告诉你,就是有一个大文钱[b]还没有还清,你也绝不能从那里出来。”
论奸淫
27 “你们听过有话说:‘不可奸淫。’ 28 但是我告诉你们:凡看见妇女就动淫念的,这人心里已经与她犯奸淫了。 29 若是你的右眼使你跌倒,就把它挖出来,丢掉。宁可失去身体中的一部分,也不让整个身体被扔进地狱。 30 若是你的右手使你跌倒,就把它砍下来,丢掉。宁可失去身体中的一部分,也不让整个身体下地狱。”
论休妻(C)
31 “又有话说:‘无论谁休妻,都要给她休书。’ 32 但是我告诉你们:凡休妻的,除非是因不贞的缘故,否则就是使她犯奸淫了;人若娶被休的妇人,也是犯奸淫了。”
论起誓
33 “你们又听过有对古人说:‘不可背誓,所起的誓总要向主谨守。’ 34 但是我告诉你们:什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓,因为天是 神的宝座。 35 不可指着地起誓,因为地是他的脚凳;也不可指着耶路撒冷起誓,因为耶路撒冷是大君王的京城。 36 又不可指着你的头起誓,因为你不能使一根头发变黑变白。 37 你们的话,是,就说是;不是,就说不是。若再多说,就是出于那恶者。”
论报复(D)
38 “你们听过有话说:‘以眼还眼,以牙还牙。’ 39 但是我告诉你们:不要与恶人作对。有人打你的右脸,连另一边也转过去由他打。 40 有人想要告你,要拿你的里衣,连外衣也由他拿去。 41 有人强迫你走一里[c]路,你就跟他走二里。 42 有求你的,就给他;有向你借贷的,不可推辞。”
论爱仇敌(E)
43 “你们听过有话说:‘要爱你的邻舍,恨你的仇敌。’ 44 但是我告诉你们:要爱你们的仇敌,为那迫害你们的祷告。 45 这样,你们就可以作天父的儿女了。因为他叫太阳照好人,也照坏人;降雨给义人,也给不义的人。 46 你们若只爱那爱你们的人,有什么赏赐呢?就是税吏不也是这样做吗? 47 你们若只请你弟兄的安,有什么比别人强呢?就是外邦人不也是这样做吗? 48 所以,你们要完全,如同你们的天父是完全的。”
