马太福音 5

论福

1 耶稣看见群众，就上了山；他坐下之后，门徒来到他跟前，2 他就开口教训他们：3 “心灵贫乏的人有福了，
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 温柔的人有福了，
因为他们必承受地土。6 爱慕公义如饥如渴的人有福了，
因为他们必得饱足。7 怜悯人的人有福了，
因为他们必蒙怜悯。8 内心清洁的人有福了，
因为他们必看见 神。9 使人和平的人有福了，
因为他们必称为 神的儿子。10 为义遭受迫害的人有福了，
因为天国是他们的。11 人若因我的缘故辱骂你们，迫害你们，并且捏造各样坏话毁谤你们，你们就有福了。12 你们应该欢喜快乐，因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的；在你们以前的先知，他们也曾这样迫害。
门徒作盐作光13 “你们是地上的盐；如果盐失了味，怎能使它再咸呢？结果毫无用处，唯有丢在外面任人践踏。14 你们是世上的光。建在山上的城是无法隐藏的；15 人点了灯，不会放在量器底下，而是放在灯台上，就照亮一家人。16 照样，你们的光也应当照在人前，让他们看见你们的好行为，又颂讚你们在天上的父。
论律法17 “你们不要以为我来是要废除律法和先知；我来不是要废除，而是要完成。18 我实在告诉你们，就算天地过去，律法的一点一画也不会废去，全部都要成就。19 因此，无论谁废除诫命中最小的一条，又这样教导人，他在天国中必称为最小的；但若有人遵行这些诫命，并且教导人遵行，他在天国中必称为大。20 我告诉你们，你们的义若不胜过经学家和法利赛人的义，就必不能进天国。
不可恨人21 “你们听过有这样吩咐古人的话：‘不可杀人，杀人的必被判罪。’22 可是我告诉你们，凡是向弟兄发怒的，必被判罪。人若说弟兄是‘拉加’，必被公议会审判；人若说弟兄是‘摩利’，必难逃地狱的火。23 所以你在祭坛上献供物的时候，如果在那里想起你的弟兄对你不满，24 就当在坛前放下供物，先去与弟兄和好，然后才来献你的供物。25 趁着你和你的对头还在路上的时候，要赶快与他和解，免得他抓你去见法官，法官把你交给狱警，关在监里。26 我实在告诉你，除非你还清最后一分钱，否则决不能从那里出来。
不可动淫念27 “你们听过有这样的吩咐：‘不可奸淫。’28 可是我告诉你们，凡是看见妇女就动淫念的，心里已经犯了奸淫。29 如果你的右眼使你犯罪，就把它挖出来丢掉；宁可失去身体的一部分，胜过全身被丢进地狱里。30 如果你的右手使你犯罪，就把它砍下来丢掉；宁可失去身体的一部分，胜过全身进到地狱里去。
不可休妻31 “又有这样的吩咐：‘人若休妻，就应当给她休书。’32 可是我告诉你们，凡休妻的，如果不是因她不贞，就是促使她犯奸淫；无论谁娶了被休的妇人，也就是犯奸淫了。
不可发誓33 “你们又听过有这样吩咐古人的话：‘不可背约，向主许的愿都要偿还。’34 可是我告诉你们，总不可发誓，不可指着天发誓，因为天是 神的宝座；35 不可指着地发誓，因为地是 神的脚凳；不可指着耶路撒冷发誓，因为它是大君王的京城；36 也不可指着自己的头发誓，因为你不能使一根头发变白或变黑。37 你们的话，是就说‘是’，不是就说‘不是’；如果再多说，就是出于那恶者。
不可报复38 “你们听过有这样的吩咐：‘以眼还眼，以牙还牙。’39 可是我告诉你们，不要与恶人对抗，有人打你的右脸，把另一边也转过来让他打；40 有人要告你，想拿你的衬衫，就连外套也让他拿去。41 有人要强迫你走一里路，就陪他走两里。42 有求你的，就给他；想借贷的，也不可拒绝。
当爱仇敌43 “你们听过有这样的吩咐：‘当爱你的邻舍，恨你的仇敌。’44 可是我告诉你们，当爱你们的仇敌，为迫害你们的祈祷，45 好叫你们成为你们天父的儿子；因为他使太阳照恶人，也照好人；降雨给义人，也给不义的人。46 如果你们只爱那些爱你们的人，有甚么赏赐呢？税吏不也是这样作吗？47 如果你们单问候你们的弟兄，有甚么特别呢？教外人不也是这样作吗？48 所以你们要完全，正如你们的天父是完全的。”

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
