馬太福音 5

論福

1 耶穌看見群眾，就上了山；他坐下之後，門徒來到他跟前，

2 他就開口教訓他們：
3 “心靈貧乏的人有福了，因為天國是他們的。
4 哀痛的人有福了，因為他們必得安慰。
5 溫柔的人有福了，因為他們必承受地土。
6 愛慕公義如飢如渴的人有福了，因為他們必得飽足。
7 憐憫人的人有福了，因為他們必蒙憐憫。
8 內心清潔的人有福了，因為他們必看見　神。
9 使人和平的人有福了，因為他們必稱為　神的兒子。
10 為義遭受迫害的人有福了，因為天國是他們的。
11 人若因我的緣故辱罵你們，迫害你們，並且捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們，你們就有福了。

12 你們應該歡喜快樂，因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的；在你們以前的先知，他們也曾這樣迫害。
門徒作鹽作光
13 “你們是地上的鹽；如果鹽失了味，怎能使它再鹹呢？結果毫無用處，唯有丟在外面任人踐踏。14 你們是世上的光。建在山上的城是無法隱藏的；15 人點了燈，不會放在量器底下，而是放在燈臺上，就照亮一家人。

16 照樣，你們的光也應當照在人前，讓他們看見你們的好行為，又頌讚你們在天上的父。
論律法
17 “你們不要以為我來是要廢除律法和先知；我來不是要廢除，而是要完成。18 我實在告訴你們，就算天地過去，律法的一點一畫也不會廢去，全部都要成就。19 因此，無論誰廢除誡命中最小的一條，又這樣教導人，他在天國中必稱為最小的；但若有人遵行這些誡命，並且教導人遵行，他在天國中必稱為大。

20 我告訴你們，你們的義若不勝過經學家和法利賽人的義，就必不能進天國。

不可恨人

21 “你們聽過有這樣吩咐古人的話：‘不可殺人，殺人的必被判罪。’22 可是我告訴你們，凡是向弟兄發怒的，必被判罪。人若說弟兄是‘拉加’，必被公議會審判；人若說弟兄是‘摩利’，必難逃地獄的火。23 所以你在祭壇上獻供物的時候，如果在那裡想起你的弟兄對你不滿，24 就當在壇前放下供物，先去與弟兄和好，然後才來獻你的供物。25 趁著你和你的對頭還在路上的時候，要趕快與他和解，免得他抓你去見法官，法官把你交給獄警，關在監裡。

26 我實在告訴你，除非你還清最後一分錢，否則決不能從那裡出來。

不可動淫念

27 “你們聽過有這樣的吩咐：‘不可姦淫。’28 可是我告訴你們，凡是看見婦女就動淫念的，心裡已經犯了姦淫。29 如果你的右眼使你犯罪，就把它挖出來丟掉；寧可失去身體的一部分，勝過全身被丟進地獄裡。

30 如果你的右手使你犯罪，就把它砍下來丟掉；寧可失去身體的一部分，勝過全身進到地獄裡去。
31 “又有這樣的吩咐：‘人若休妻，就應當給她休書。’

32 可是我告訴你們，凡休妻的，如果不是因她不貞，就是促使她犯姦淫；無論誰娶了被休的婦人，也就是犯姦淫了。
不可發誓
33 “你們又聽過有這樣吩咐古人的話：‘不可背約，向主許的願都要償還。’34 可是我告訴你們，總不可發誓，不可指著天發誓，因為天是　神的寶座；35 不可指著地發誓，因為地是　神的腳凳；不可指著耶路撒冷發誓，因為它是大君王的京城；36 也不可指著自己的頭發誓，因為你不能使一根頭髮變白或變黑。

37 你們的話，是就說‘是’，不是就說‘不是’；如果再多說，就是出於那惡者。
不可報復
38 “你們聽過有這樣的吩咐：‘以眼還眼，以牙還牙。’39 可是我告訴你們，不要與惡人對抗，有人打你的右臉，把另一邊也轉過來讓他打；40 有人要告你，想拿你的襯衫，就連外套也讓他拿去。41 有人要強迫你走一里路，就陪他走兩里。

42 有求你的，就給他；想借貸的，也不可拒絕。

當愛仇敵

43 “你們聽過有這樣的吩咐：‘當愛你的鄰舍，恨你的仇敵。’44 可是我告訴你們，當愛你們的仇敵，為迫害你們的祈禱，45 好叫你們成為你們天父的兒子；因為他使太陽照惡人，也照好人；降雨給義人，也給不義的人。46 如果你們只愛那些愛你們的人，有甚麼賞賜呢？稅吏不也是這樣作嗎？47 如果你們單問候你們的弟兄，有甚麼特別呢？教外人不也是這樣作嗎？

48 所以你們要完全，正如你們的天父是完全的。”

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
