Bible (KJV) NT 01: The Sermon On the Mount, Matthew 5-7

40:005:001 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 40:005:002 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 40:005:003 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 40:005:004 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 40:005:005 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 40:005:006 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 40:005:007 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 40:005:008 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 40:005:009 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 40:005:010 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 40:005:011 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 40:005:012 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 40:005:013 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. 40:005:014 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 40:005:015 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. 40:005:016 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 40:005:017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 40:005:018 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. 40:005:019 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. 40:005:020 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. 40:005:021 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: 40:005:022 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. 40:005:023 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 40:005:024 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 40:005:025 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. 40:005:026 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 40:005:027 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 40:005:028 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 40:005:029 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. 40:005:030 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. 40:005:031 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 40:005:032 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. 40:005:033 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: 40:005:034 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 40:005:035 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 40:005:036 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 40:005:037 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 40:005:038 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 40:005:039 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. 40:005:040 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 40:005:041 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 40:005:042 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 40:005:043 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 40:005:044 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; 40:005:045 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. 40:005:046 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 40:005:047 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 40:005:048 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 40:006:001 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. 40:006:002 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. 40:006:003 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 40:006:004 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 40:006:005 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. 40:006:006 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. 40:006:007 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 40:006:008 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 40:006:009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 40:006:010 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 40:006:011 Give us this day our daily bread. 40:006:012 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 40:006:013 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. 40:006:014 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 40:006:015 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 40:006:016 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. 40:006:017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 40:006:018 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. 40:006:019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 40:006:020 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 40:006:021 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 40:006:022 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 40:006:023 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! 40:006:024 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. 40:006:025 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? 40:006:026 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? 40:006:027 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 40:006:028 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 40:006:029 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 40:006:030 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? 40:006:031 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 40:006:032 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 40:006:033 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 40:006:034 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. 40:007:001 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 40:007:002 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 40:007:003 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 40:007:004 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? 40:007:005 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. 40:007:006 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. 40:007:007 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 40:007:008 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 40:007:009 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 40:007:010 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 40:007:011 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? 40:007:012 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. 40:007:013 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: 40:007:014 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 40:007:015 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 40:007:016 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 40:007:017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 40:007:018 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 40:007:019 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 40:007:020 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 40:007:021 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. 40:007:022 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? 40:007:023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 40:007:024 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: 40:007:025 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. 40:007:026 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: 40:007:027 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. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
