A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek: Humbly Attempted with a View to Assist the Unlearned with Clearer and More Explicit Views of the Mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures of Truth
Haweis, Thomas
Bible. New Testament
(20)And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are
ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. (21)Blessed are ye who hunger
now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now, for ye shall
laugh. (22)Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall
separate you from them, and shall revile you, and shall cast out your
name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. (23)Rejoice in that day, and
leap for joy; for, lo! your reward is great in heaven: for after the
same manner did your fathers to the prophets. (24)But wo unto you who
are rich! for ye have received your consolation. (25)Wo unto you who
are full! for ye shall hunger. Wo unto you who laugh now! for ye shall
mourn and weep. (26)Wo unto you, when men shall speak well of you! for
just so did their fathers of the false prophets. (27)But I say to you
who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you; (28)bless
those who curse you, and pray for those who wantonly insult you. (29)To
him that smiteth thee on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him
who would take from thee thy cloak, withhold not thy coat also. (30)And
give to every one that asketh thee; and from him who would take thy
goods, demand them not again. (31)And as ye would that men should do
unto you, do ye also to them in like manner.
(32)And if ye love them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for
even sinners love those who love them. (33)And if ye do good to them
who do good to you, what thanks have ye? do not even sinners the same
thing? (34)And if ye lend to those, from whom ye hope to receive back
again, what thanks are due to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that
they may receive an equivalent. (35)But love your enemies, and do good
and lend, hoping for nothing in return: and your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be the children of the Most High; for he is kind unto the
unthankful and to the wicked. (36)Be ye therefore compassionate, as
also your Father is compassionate. (37)And judge not, that ye be not
judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: (38)give, and there
shall be given unto you; good measure pressed down, and shook, and
running over, shall they give into your lap. For with what measure ye
mete, it shall be measured back to you again.
(39)And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind?
will they not both fall into the pit? (40)The disciple is not above his
teacher; but every one who is completely taught shall be as his master.
