10 Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
Blessed [are] they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

13 Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on by men.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.
14 Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a close vessel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do, and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee;
24 leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
Agree with thy adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
Verily, I say to thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for [it] is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 And, if, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of lewdness, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:
34 But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King,
36 Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.

40 And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
41 And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
And whoever shall constrain thee [to go] one mile, go with him two.
42 To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy:
44 But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
That ye may be the children of your Father who [is] in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
48 Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
