the beatitudes

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.

Romans Chapter 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans Chapter 8:2

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans Chapter 8:3

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Romans Chapter 8:4

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans Chapter 8:5

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Romans Chapter 8:6

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans Chapter 8:7

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Romans Chapter 8:8

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans Chapter 8:9

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Romans Chapter 8:10

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Romans Chapter 8:11

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Romans Chapter 8:12

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Romans Chapter 8:13

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Romans Chapter 8:14

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Romans Chapter 8:15

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Romans Chapter 8:16

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Romans Chapter 8:17

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Romans Chapter 8:18

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Romans Chapter 8:19

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Romans Chapter 8:20

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Romans Chapter 8:21

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Romans Chapter 8:22

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Romans Chapter 8:23

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Romans Chapter 8:24

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

Romans Chapter 8:25

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Romans Chapter 8:26

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Romans Chapter 8:27

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Romans Chapter 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans Chapter 8:29

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Romans Chapter 8:30

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Romans Chapter 8:31

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Romans Chapter 8:32

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Romans Chapter 8:33

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Romans Chapter 8:34

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Romans Chapter 8:35

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans Chapter 8:36

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Romans Chapter 8:37

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans Chapter 8:38

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Romans Chapter 8:39

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:1

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:2

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:3

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:4

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:5

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:6

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:7

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:8

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:9

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:10

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:11

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:12

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
