And with these words he gave them teaching, saying,

Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.

Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.

And seeing great masses of people he went up into the mountain; and when he was seated his disciples came to him.

Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?

You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.

You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;

And whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two.

Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.

If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,

Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.

And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.

Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.

Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:

Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:

And if you say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?

Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.

But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.

Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.
