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

But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.

You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:

Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.

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

Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.

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.

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

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.

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.

And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

And with these words he gave them teaching, saying,

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

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

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.

You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.

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.

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.

You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife:

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

Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.

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

Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.

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

Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.

But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

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

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

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

And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him.

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

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?

So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

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

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