48; 2 & 5
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your
heavenly Father is perfect. (3)
369
44 But
I tell you, love
your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you, (8)
45 that you may be children of
your Father in heaven. He causes his sun
to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the
unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you,
what reward will you get? Are not even the tax
collectors doing that?
147
35 or
by the earth,
for it is His
footstool; or by Jerusalem,
for it is the city
of the Great King.
(8)
36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot
make even one hair white or black.
37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes
from the evil one.
147
26 Truly
I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
(8)
Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was
said, ‘You shall not commit
adultery.’
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully
has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
147
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law
or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (8)
18 For
truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least
stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear
from the Law until everything is accomplished.
19 Therefore anyone who sets aside
one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be
called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these Commands will be
called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
147
8 Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they will
see God.
(8)
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
147
41 If
anyone forces you to go
one
mile, go with them two
miles. (5)
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to
borrow from you.
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was
said, ‘Love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.’
147
32 But
I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality,
makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a
divorced woman commits adultery.
(5)
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it
was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’
34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by
heaven, for it is God’s throne;
147
23 “Therefore,
if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother
or sister has something against you, (5)
24 leave your gift there in front
of the altar. First go and be
reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Settle matters quickly with
your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together
on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may
hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
147
14 “You
are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. (5)
15 Neither do people light a lamp
and put it under a bowl. Instead they put
it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before
others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
147
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. (5)
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
147
47 And
if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not
even pagans do that?
(2)
258
Eye for Eye
38 “You
have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ (2)
39 But I tell you, do not resist
an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
40 And if anyone wants to sue you
and take your shirt, hand over your
coat as well.
147
29 If
your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose
one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (2)
30 And if your right hand causes
you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body
than for your whole body to go into hell.
Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give
her a certificate of divorce.’
147
20 For
I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and
the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
(2)
Murder
21 “You have heard that it was
said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to
judgment.’
22 But I tell you that anyone who is
angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again,
anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the
court. And anyone who says, ‘You
fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.
147
11 “Blessed
are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil
against you because of me. (2)
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward
in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before
you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its
saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything,
except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
147
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on
a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to Him,
2 and
He began to teach them.
(2)
The Beatitudes
He
said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
