马太福音 5
山上宝训
1 耶稣看见这许多的人,就上了山,既已坐下,门徒到他跟前来, 2 他就开口教训他们,说:
论福
(路6·20—23)
3 虚心的人有福了! 因为天国是他们的。
4 哀恸的人有福了! 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 饥渴慕义的人有福了! 因为他们必得饱足。
7 怜恤人的人有福了! 因为他们必蒙怜恤。
8 清心的人有福了! 因为他们必得见 神。
9 使人和睦的人有福了! 因为他们必称为 神的儿子。
10 为义受逼迫的人有福了! 因为天国是他们的。
11 「人若因我辱骂你们,逼迫你们,捏造各样坏话毁谤你们,你们就有福了! 12 应当欢喜快乐,因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的。在你们以前的先知,人也是这样逼迫他们。」
盐和光
(可9·50;路14·34—35)
13 「你们是世上的盐。盐若失了味,怎能叫它再咸呢?以后无用,不过丢在外面,被人践踏了。 14 你们是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隐藏的。 15 人点灯,不放在斗底下,是放在灯台上,就照亮一家的人。 16 你们的光也当这样照在人前,叫他们看见你们的好行为,便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。」
论律法
17 「莫想我来要废掉律法和先知。我来不是要废掉,乃是要成全。 18 我实在告诉你们,就是到天地都废去了,律法的一点一画也不能废去,都要成全。 19 所以,无论何人废掉这诫命中最小的一条,又教训人这样做,他在天国要称为最小的。但无论何人遵行这诫命,又教训人遵行,他在天国要称为大的。 20 我告诉你们,你们的义若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义,断不能进天国。」
论发怒
21 「你们听见有吩咐古人的话,说:『不可杀人』;又说:『凡杀人的难免受审判。』 22 只是我告诉你们,凡t向弟兄动怒的,难免受审断;凡骂弟兄是拉加的,难免公会的审断;凡骂弟兄是魔利的,难免地狱的火。 23 所以,你在祭坛上献礼物的时候,若想起弟兄向你怀怨, 24 就把礼物留在坛前,先去同弟兄和好,然后来献礼物。 25 你同告你的对头还在路上,就赶紧与他和息,恐怕他把你送给审判官,审判官交付衙役,你就下在监里了。 26 我实在告诉你,若有一文钱没有还清,你断不能从那里出来。」
论奸淫
27 「你们听见有话说:『不可奸淫。』 28 只是我告诉你们,凡看见妇女就动淫念的,这人心里已经与她犯奸淫了。 29 若是你的右眼叫你跌倒,就剜出来丢掉,宁可失去百体中的一体,不叫全身丢在地狱里。 30 若是右手叫你跌倒,就砍下来丢掉,宁可失去百体中的一体,不叫全身下入地狱。」
论休妻
(太19·9;可10·11—12;路16·18)
31 「又有话说:『人若休妻,就当给她休书。』 32 只是我告诉你们,凡休妻的,若不是为淫乱的缘故,就是叫她作淫妇了;人若娶这被休的妇人,也是犯奸淫了。」
论起誓
33 「你们又听见有吩咐古人的话,说:『不可背誓,所起的誓总要向主谨守。』 34 只是我告诉你们,什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓,因为天是 神的座位; 35 不可指着地起誓,因为地是他的脚凳;也不可指着耶路撒冷起誓,因为耶路撒冷是大君的京城; 36 又不可指着你的头起誓,因为你不能使一根头发变黑变白了。 37 你们的话,是,就说是;不是,就说不是;若再多说就是出于那恶者t。」
论报复
(路6·29—30)
38 「你们听见有话说:『以眼还眼,以牙还牙。』 39 只是我告诉你们,不要与恶人作对。有人打你的右脸,连左脸也转过来由他打; 40 有人想要告你,要拿你的里衣,连外衣也由他拿去; 41 有人强逼你走一里路,你就同他走二里; 42 有求你的,就给他;有向你借贷的,不可推辞。」
论爱仇敌
(路6·27—28;32—36)
43 「你们听见有话说:『当爱你的邻舍,恨你的仇敌。』 44 只是我告诉你们,要爱你们的仇敌,为那逼迫你们的祷告。 45 这样就可以作你们天父的儿子;因为他叫日头照好人,也照歹人;降雨给义人,也给不义的人。 46 你们若单爱那爱你们的人,有什么赏赐呢?就是税吏不也是这样行吗? 47 你们若单请你弟兄的安,比人有什么长处呢?就是外邦人不也是这样行吗? 48 所以,你们要完全,像你们的天父完全一样。」
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
