8. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
9. Blesses are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
10. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11. Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
12. Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
13. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.
14. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.
15. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.
16. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.
19. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20. For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21. You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.
22. But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou Fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23. If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee;
24. Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift.
25. Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26. Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay the last farthing.
