马太福音 5

八福

1 耶稣看见这些人群，就上了山，刚坐下，门徒便走到祂跟前，2 祂就开口教导他们，说：3 “自知心灵贫穷的人有福了，因为天国是他们的。4 哀痛的人有福了，因为他们必得安慰。5 柔和谦卑的人有福了，因为他们必承受土地。6 爱慕公义如饥似渴的人t有福了，因为他们必得饱足。7 心存怜悯的人有福了，因为他们必蒙上帝的怜悯。8 心灵纯洁的人有福了，因为他们必看见上帝。9 使人和睦的人有福了，因为他们必被称为上帝的儿女。10 为义受逼迫的人有福了，因为天国是他们的。

11 “人们因为我的缘故侮辱、迫害、肆意毁谤你们，你们就有福了。12 要欢喜快乐，因为你们在天上有很大的奖赏。他们也曾这样迫害以前的先知。

盐和光

13 “你们是世上的盐。如果盐失去咸味，怎能使它再变咸呢？它将毫无用处，只有被丢在外面任人践踏。14 你们是世上的光，如同建在山上的城一样无法隐藏。15 人点亮了灯，不会把它放在斗底下，而是放在灯台上，好照亮全家。16 同样，你们的光也应当照在人面前，好让他们看见你们的好行为，便赞美你们天上的父。

成全律法

17 “不要以为我是来废除律法和先知书，我不是来废除，乃是来成全。18 我实在告诉你们，就是到天地都消失了，律法的一点一划都不会废除，全都要成就。19 所以，谁违背这些诫命中最小的一条，并教导别人违背，谁在天国将被称为最小的。但谁遵守这些诫命，并教导别人遵守，谁在天国将被称为大的。20 我告诉你们，除非你们的义胜过律法教师和法利赛人的义，否则断不能进天国。

论仇恨

21 “你们听过吩咐古人的话，‘不可杀人，杀人的要受审判。’22 但我告诉你们，凡无缘无故t向弟兄发怒的，要受审判；凡骂弟兄是白痴的，要受公会t的审判；凡骂弟兄是笨蛋的，难逃地狱的火。

23 “所以，你在祭坛前献祭的时候，要是想起有弟兄和你有过节，24 就该把祭物留在祭坛前，先去跟他和好，然后再来献祭。

25 “趁着你和告你的人还在去法庭的路上，你要赶紧与对方和解。不然，他会把你交给审判官，审判官会把你交给差役关进监牢。26 我实在告诉你，要是有一分钱没有还清，你绝不能从那里出来。

论通奸

27 “你们听过这样的话，‘不可通奸。’28 但我告诉你们，凡看见妇女就动淫念的，他在心里已经犯了通奸罪。29 如果你的右眼使你犯罪，就把它剜掉！宁可失去身体的一部分，也比整个人下地狱好。30 如果你的右手使你犯罪，就把它砍掉！宁可失去身体的一部分，也比整个人下地狱好。

31 “还有话说，‘人若休妻，必须给她休书’。32 但我告诉你们，除非是妻子不贞，否则，休妻就是使妻子犯通奸罪，娶被休女子的人也犯了通奸罪。

论起誓

33 “你们也听过吩咐古人的话，‘不可违背誓言，总要向主遵守所起的誓。’34 但我告诉你们，不可起誓。不可指着天起誓，因为天是上帝的宝座。35 不可指着地起誓，因为地是上帝的脚凳。不可指着圣城耶路撒冷起誓，因为那是大君王的城。36 也不可指着自己的头起誓，因为你不能使一根头发变黑或变白。37 你们说话，是就说是，不是就说不是，多说的便是来自那恶者t。

论爱仇敌

38 “你们听过这样的话，‘以眼还眼，以牙还牙。’39 但我告诉你们，不要跟恶人作对。有人打你的右脸，连左脸也转过来让他打。40 有人想控告你，要夺取你的内衣，连外衣也给他。41 有人强迫你走一里路，你就跟他走两里路。42 有求你的，就给他；有向你借的，不可拒绝他。

43 “你们听过这样的话，‘要爱邻居，恨仇敌。’44 但我告诉你们，要爱仇敌，为逼迫你们的人祷告。45 这样，你们才是天父的孩子。因为祂让阳光照好人也照坏人，降雨给义人也给恶人。46 如果你们只爱那些爱你们的人，有什么值得嘉奖的呢？就是税吏也会这样做。47 如果你们只问候自己的弟兄，有什么特别呢？就是外族人也会这样做。48 所以，你们要纯全，正如你们的天父是纯全的。

Matthew 5

The Beatitudes

1 Whent he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain.ts After he sat down his disciples came to him.

2 Thent he began to teacht them by saying:

3 “Blesseds are the poor in spirit,s for the kingdom of heaven belongss to them.

4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.s

5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 “Blessed are those who hungers and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the childrent of God.

10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.
11 “Blessed are you when peoplet insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things about you falselys on account of me.

12 Rejoice and be glad because your reward is great in heaven, for they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way.

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salts of the earth. But if salt loses its flavor,s how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled on by people.14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Peoplet do not light a lamp and put it under a baskett but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven.

Fulfillment of the Law and Prophets

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them.t18 It tell you the truth,t until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letterts will pass from the law until everything takes place.19 So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches otherst to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness goes beyond that of the experts in the lawt and the Pharisees,s you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Anger and Murder

21 “You have heard that it was said to an older generation,t ‘Do not murder,’s and ‘whoever murders will be subjected to judgment.’22 But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brothers will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insultst a brother will be brought beforet the council,t and whoever says ‘Fool’t will be sentt to fiery hell.ts23 So then, if you bring your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother and then come and present your gift.25 Reach agreementt quickly with your accuser while on the way to court,t or het may hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the warden, and you will be thrown into prison.

26 I tell you the truth,t you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny!ts

Adultery

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’s28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away! It is better to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into hell.s

30 If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is better to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into hell.

Divorce

31 “It was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a legal document.’s

32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Oaths

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to an older generation,t ‘Do not break an oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’s34 But I say to you, do not take oaths at all – not by heaven, because it is the throne of God,35 not by earth, because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem,s because it is the city of the great King.36 Do not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

37 Let your word be ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no.’ More than this is from the evil one.t

Retaliation

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’s39 But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer.t But whoever strikes you on thes right cheek, turn the other to him as well.40 And if someone wants to sue you and to take your tunic,t give him your coat also.41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile,s go with him two.

42 Give to the one who asks you,s and do not rejectt the one who wants to borrow from you.

Love for Enemies

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’s and ‘hate your enemy.’44 But I say to you, love your enemy ands pray for those who persecute you,45 so that you may be liket your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectorss do the same, don’t they?47 And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do? Even the Gentiles do the same, don’t they?

48 So then, be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.s
