Bible. Matthew
40:005:010 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
40:005:011 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
sake.
40:005:012 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before
you.
40:005:013 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his
savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good
for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot
of men.
40:005:014 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid.
40:005:015 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but
on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the
house.
40:005:016 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
40:005:017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
40:005:018 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot
or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled.
40:005:019 Whosoever 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 whosoever shall do and
teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven.
40:005:020 For I say unto 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.
40:005:021 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt
not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
judgment:
40:005:022 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger
of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be
in danger of hell fire.
40:005:023 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
40:005:024 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first
be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy
gift.
40:005:025 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles 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.
