sermon on the mount

Matthew Chapter 5:1

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

Matthew Chapter 5:2

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Matthew Chapter 5:3

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

Matthew Chapter 5:4

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Matthew Chapter 5:5

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Matthew Chapter 5:6

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Matthew Chapter 5:7

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Matthew Chapter 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Matthew Chapter 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Matthew Chapter 5:10

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew Chapter 5:11

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Matthew Chapter 5:12

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Matthew Chapter 5:13

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:14

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Matthew Chapter 5:15

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 5:17

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Matthew Chapter 5:18

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:19

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:20

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:21

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Matthew Chapter 5:22

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:23

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Matthew Chapter 5:24

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Matthew Chapter 5:25

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:26

Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Matthew Chapter 5:27

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

Matthew Chapter 5:28

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Matthew Chapter 5:29

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:30

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:31

It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

Matthew Chapter 5:32

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:33

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:

Matthew Chapter 5:34

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Matthew Chapter 5:35

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Matthew Chapter 5:36

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Matthew Chapter 5:37

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Matthew Chapter 5:38

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

Matthew Chapter 5:39

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:40

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

Matthew Chapter 5:41

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Matthew Chapter 5:42

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Matthew Chapter 5:43

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Matthew Chapter 5:44

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;

Matthew Chapter 5:45

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:46

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

Matthew Chapter 5:47

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Matthew Chapter 5:48

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew Chapter 6:1

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 6:2

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew Chapter 6:3

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

Matthew Chapter 6:4

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Matthew Chapter 6:5

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew Chapter 6:6

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Matthew Chapter 6:7

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Matthew Chapter 6:8

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Matthew Chapter 6:9

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Matthew Chapter 6:10

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 6:11

Give us this day our daily bread.

Matthew Chapter 6:12

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Matthew Chapter 6:13

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matthew Chapter 6:14

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Matthew Chapter 6:15

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew Chapter 6:16

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew Chapter 6:17

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

Matthew Chapter 6:18

That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Matthew Chapter 6:19

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Matthew Chapter 6:20

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Matthew Chapter 6:21

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Matthew Chapter 6:22

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Matthew Chapter 6:23

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Matthew Chapter 6:24

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Matthew Chapter 6:25

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Matthew Chapter 6:26

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Matthew Chapter 6:27

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

Matthew Chapter 6:28

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Matthew Chapter 6:29

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Matthew Chapter 6:30

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Matthew Chapter 6:31

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Matthew Chapter 6:32

For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Matthew Chapter 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew Chapter 6:34

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew Chapter 7:1

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Matthew Chapter 7:2

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Matthew Chapter 7:3

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Matthew Chapter 7:4

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Matthew Chapter 7:5

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Matthew Chapter 7:6

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Matthew Chapter 7:7

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Matthew Chapter 7:8

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Matthew Chapter 7:9

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Matthew Chapter 7:10

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Matthew Chapter 7:11

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Matthew Chapter 7:12

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew Chapter 7:13

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew Chapter 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew Chapter 7:15

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew Chapter 7:16

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Matthew Chapter 7:17

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Matthew Chapter 7:18

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Matthew Chapter 7:19

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Matthew Chapter 7:20

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matthew Chapter 7:21

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 7:22

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Matthew Chapter 7:23

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew Chapter 7:24

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Matthew Chapter 7:25

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Matthew Chapter 7:26

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

Matthew Chapter 7:27

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Matthew Chapter 7:28

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Matthew Chapter 7:29

For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

John Chapter 14:15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.
