| 5:13 | Yee are the salt of the earth: But if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it bee salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be troden vnder foote of men. |
| 5:14 | Yee are the light of the world. A citie that is set on an hill, cannot be hid. |
| 5:15 | Neither doe men light a candle, and put it vnder a bushell: but on a candlesticke, and it giueth light vnto all that are in the house. |
| 5:16 | Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good workes, and glorifie your father which is in heauen. |
| 5:17 | Thinke not that I am come to destroy the lawe or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. |
| 5:18 | For verily I say vnto you, Till heauen and earth passe, one iote or one title, shall in no wise passe from the law, till all be fulfilled. |
| 5:19 | Whosoeuer therfore shall breake one of these least commaundements, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdome of heauen: but whosoeuer shall doe, and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdome of heauen. |
| 5:20 | For I say vnto you, That except your righteousnesse shall exceede the righteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharisees, yee shall in no case enter into the kingdome of heauen. |
| 5:21 | Yee haue heard, that it was saide by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill: and, Whosoeuer shall kill, shalbe in danger of the iudgement. |
| 5:22 | But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the Iudgement: and whosoeuer shall say to his brother, Racha, shal be in danger of the counsell: but whosoeuer shall say, Thou foole, shalbe in danger of hell fire. |
| 5:23 | Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought against thee: |
| 5:24 | Leaue there thy gift before the altar, and goe thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. |
| 5:25 | Agree with thine aduersarie quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him: least at any time the aduersarie deliuer thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. |
| 5:26 | Uerily I say vnto thee, thou shalt by no meanes come out thence, till thou hast payd the vttermost farthing. |
| 5:27 | Yee haue heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adulterie. |
| 5:28 | But I say vnto you, That whosoeuer looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adulterie with her already in his heart. |
| 5:29 | And if thy right eie offend thee, plucke 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. |
| 5:30 | And if thy right hand offend thee, 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. |
| 5:31 | It hath beene said, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, let him giue her a writing of diuorcement. |
| 5:32 | But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer shall put away his wife, sauing for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoeuer shall marie her that is diuorced, committeth adulterie. |
| 5:33 | Againe, yee haue heard that it hath beene said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt performe vnto the Lord thine othes. |
| 5:34 | But I say vnto you, Sweare not at all, neither by heauen, for it is Gods throne: |
| 5:35 | Nor by the earth, for it is his footstoole: neither by Hierusalem, for it is the citie of the great king. |
| 5:36 | Neither shalt thou sweare by thy head, because thou canst not make one haire white or blacke. |
| 5:37 | But let your communication bee Yea, yea: Nay, nay: For whatsoeuer is more then these, commeth of euill. |
| 5:38 | Yee haue heard that it hath beene said, An eie for an eie, and a tooth for a tooth. |
| 5:39 | But I say vnto you, that yee resist not euill: but whosoeuer shall smite thee on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also. |
| 5:40 | And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloake also. |
| 5:41 | And whosoeuer shall compell thee to goe a mile, goe with him twaine. |
| 5:42 | Giue to him that asketh thee: and from him that would borrow of thee, turne not thou away. |
| 5:43 | Yee haue heard, that it hath beene said, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour, and hate thine enemie: |

| 5:45 | That yee may be the children of your father which is in heauen: for he maketh his sunne to rise on the euill and on the good, and sendeth raine on the iust, and on the vniust. |
| 5:46 | For if yee loue them which loue you, what reward haue yee? Doe not euen the Publicanes the same? |
| 5:47 | And if yee salute your brethren only, what do you more then others? Doe not euen the Publicanes so? |
| 5:48 | Be yee therefore perfect, euen as your father, which is in heauen, is perfect. |
| 5:1 | And when he sawe the multitude, he went vp into a mountaine: and when he was set, his disciples came to him. |
| 5:2 | And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying, |
| 5:3 | Blessed are the poore in spirit, for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. |
| 5:4 | Blessed are they that mourne: for they shall be comforted. |
| 5:5 | Blessed are the meeke: for they shall inherite the earth. |
| 5:6 | Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousnes: for they shalbe filled. |
| 5:7 | Blessed are the mercifull: for they shall obteine mercie. |
| 5:8 | Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. |
| 5:9 | Blessed are the peace makers: for they shall be called the children of God. |
| 5:10 | Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. |
| 5:11 | Blessed shall ye be when men reuile you, and persecute you, and say all maner of euill against you for my sake, falsely. |
| 5:12 | Reioyce and be glad, for great is your reward in heauen: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you. |

| 5:14 | Ye are the light of the world. A citie that is set on an hill, cannot be hid. |
| 5:15 | Neither doe men light a candel, and put it vnder a bushel, but on a candlesticke, and it giueth light vnto all that are in the house. |
| 5:16 | Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good workes, and glorifie your Father which is in heauen. |
| 5:17 | Think not that I am come to destroy the Lawe, or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them. |
| 5:18 | For truely I say vnto you, Till heauen, and earth perish, one iote or one title of the Law shall not scape, till all things be fulfilled. |
| 5:19 | Whosoeuer therefore shall breake one of these least commandements, and teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdome of heauen: but whosoeuer shall obserue and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdome of heauen. |
| 5:20 | For I say vnto you, except your righteousnes exceede the righteousnes of the Scribes and Pharises, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen. |
| 5:21 | Ye haue heard that it was sayd vnto them of the olde time, Thou shalt not kill: for whosoeuer killeth shalbe culpable of iudgement. |
| 5:22 | But I say vnto you, whosoeuer is angry with his brother vnaduisedly, shalbe culpable of iudgment. And whosoeuer sayth vnto his brother, Raca, shalbe worthy to be punished by the Councill. And whosoeuer shall say, Foole, shalbe worthy to be punished with hell fire. |
| 5:23 | If then thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought against thee, |
| 5:24 | Leaue there thine offring before the altar, and goe thy way: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. |
| 5:25 | Agree with thine aduersarie quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him, lest thine aduersarie deliuer thee to the Iudge, and the Iudge deliuer thee to ye sergeant, and thou be cast into prison. |
| 5:26 | Verely I say vnto thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost farthing. |
| 5:27 | Ye haue heard that it was sayd to them of olde time, Thou shalt not commit adulterie. |
| 5:28 | But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adulterie with her already in his heart. |
| 5:29 | Wherefore if thy right eye cause thee to offend, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee, that one of thy members perish, then that thy whole body should be cast into hell. |
| 5:30 | Also if thy right hand make thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee that one of thy members perish, then that thy whole body should be cast into hell. |
| 5:31 | It hath bene sayd also, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, let him giue her a bill of diuorcement. |
| 5:32 | But I say vnto you, whosoeuer shall put away his wife (except it be for fornication) causeth her to commit adulterie: and whosoeuer shall marrie her that is diuorced, committeth adulterie. |
| 5:33 | Againe, ye haue heard that it was sayd to them of old time, Thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt performe thine othes to the Lord. |
| 5:34 | But I say vnto you, Sweare not at all, neither by heauen, for it is the throne of God: |
| 5:35 | Nor yet by the earth: for it is his footestoole: neither by Hierusalem: for it is the citie of the great King. |
| 5:36 | Neither shalt thou sweare by thine head, because thou canst not make one heare white or blacke. |
| 5:37 | But let your communication be Yea, yea: Nay, nay. For whatsoeuer is more then these, commeth of euill. |
| 5:38 | Ye haue heard that it hath bene sayd, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. |
| 5:39 | But I say vnto you, Resist not euill: but whosoeuer shall smite thee on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also. |
| 5:40 | And if any man wil sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloke also. |
| 5:41 | And whosoeuer will compell thee to goe a mile, goe with him twaine. |
| 5:42 | Giue to him that asketh, and from him that would borowe of thee, turne not away. |
| 5:43 | Ye haue heard that it hath bin said, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour, and hate your enemie. |
| 5:44 | But I say vnto you, Loue your enemies: blesse them that curse you: doe good to them that hate you, and pray for them which hurt you, and persecute you, |
| 5:45 | That ye may be the children of your father that is in heauen: for he maketh his sunne to arise on the euill, and the good, and sendeth raine on the iust, and vniust. |
| 5:46 | For if ye loue them, which loue you, what rewarde shall you haue? Doe not the Publicanes euen the same? |
| 5:47 | And if ye be friendly to your brethren onely, what singular thing doe ye? doe not euen the Publicanes likewise? |
| 5:48 | Ye shall therefore be perfit, as your Father which is in heauen, is perfite. |
| 5:1 | When he sawe the people, he went vp into a mountaine, and when he was set his disciples came to him, |
| 5:2 | and he opened his mouth, and taught them sayinge, |
| 5:3 | blessed are the pore in sprete: for theirs is the kingdom of heauen. |
| 5:4 | Blessed are they that morne, for they shalbe comforted. |
| 5:5 | Blessed are the meke: for they shall inheret the earth. |
| 5:6 | Blessed are they which honger & thurste for rightuousnes: for they shalbe filled. |
| 5:7 | Blessed are the mercifull: for they shal obtaine mercy. |
| 5:8 | Blessed are the pure in hert: for thei shal se God. |
| 5:9 | Blessed are the peace makers: for thei shalbe called the children of God. |
| 5:10 | Blessed are they which suffer persecucion for rightuousnesse sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heauen: |
| 5:11 | Blessed are ye when men reuile you and persecute you, and shal falsely say al maner of yuel sayinges against you for my sake. |
| 5:12 | Reioyce & be glad, for great is your reward in heauen. For so persecuted they the prophetes which were before your dayes. |
| 5:13 | Ye are the salt of the earth: but & if the salt haue lost her saltnes, what can be salted therwith? It is thensforth good for nothinge, but to be cast out, and to be troden vnder fote of men. |
| 5:14 | Ye are the light of the worlde. A cytye that is set on an hill, can not be hid, |
| 5:15 | neither do men light a candell & put it vnder a bushell, but on a candelsticke, and it lighteth al that are in the house. |
| 5:16 | Let your light so shyne before men that they maye se your good workes, and gloryfye your father which is in heauen. |
| 5:17 | Thinke not that I am come to destroy the lawe, or the prophetes: no I am not come to destroy them, but to fulfil them. |
| 5:18 | For truly I say vnto you, til heauen & earth perish, one iote or one title of the lawe shal not escape, til al be fulfilled |
| 5:19 | Whosoeuer therfore breaketh one of these lest commaundementes, & teacheth men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdome of heauen. But whosoeuer obserueth & teacheth, the same shal be called great in the kingdom of heauen. |
| 5:20 | For I say vnto you except your rightuousnes excede, the rightuousnes of the scribes & phariseis, ye can not entre into the kingdom of heauen. |
| 5:21 | Ye haue heard howe it was said vnto them of the olde time: Thou shalt not kil. For whosoeuer killeth, shal be in daunger of iudgement, |
| 5:22 | but I sai vnto yow, whosoeuer is angre wt his brother without a cause shal be in daunger of iudgement. Whosoeuer saieth to his brother Racha, shalbe in daunger of a counsel. But whosoeuer saieth thou fole, shalbe in daunger of hel fire |
| 5:23 | Therefore when thou offrest thy gift at the altare, & their remembrest that thy brother hath ought against the: |
| 5:24 | leue there thy offringe before the altare, & go thy way first & be reconciled to thy brother, & then come and offre thy gift. |
| 5:25 | Agre with thine aduersary quickly, whiles thou art in the way wt him, lest the aduersary deliuer the to the iudge, & the iudge deliuer the to the minister, & then thou be cast into prison. |
| 5:26 | I say vnto the verely: thou shalt not come out thence tyl thou haue payed the vttermost farthing. |
| 5:27 | Ye haue heard how it was sayed to them of olde time: Thou shalt not commit adultery. |
| 5:28 | But I saye vnto you, that whosoeuer loketh on a wife, lustinge after her, hath committed adulterye with her alredy in his herte |
| 5:29 | Wherfore if thy ryght eye offende the plucke him out, & cast him from the. Better it is for the that one of thy members perishe, then that thy whol body should be cast into hel. |
| 5:30 | Also if thy right hand offende the, cut him of & cast him from the. Better it is that one of thy members perish, then that all thy body should be cast into hel. |
| 5:31 | It is sayed, whosoeuer putteth a way his wife, let him geue her a testimonial of the deuorcement. |
| 5:32 | But I sai vnto you: whosoeuer putteth away his wife (except it be for fornicacion) causeth her to breke matrimony. And whosoeuer marieth her that is deuorced, breaketh wedlocke. |
| 5:33 | Agayne ye haue hearde how it was sayed to them of olde time, thou shalt not forsweare thy self, but shalt performe thine othe to God. |
| 5:34 | But I saye vnto you, swere not at al, neither by heauen, for it is Goddes seate: |
| 5:35 | nor yet by the earth, for it is his fotstole: neither by Ierusalem for it is the citye of the great kinge |
| 5:36 | neither shalt thou sweare by thy head, because thou canst not make one whyte hear, or blacke. |
| 5:37 | But your communicacion shalbe, yea, yea: nay, nay. For whatsoeuer is more than that cometh to euell. |
| 5:38 | Ye haue hearde how it is sayed, an eye for an eye: a tothe for a tothe. |
| 5:39 | But I saye to you that ye resyst not wrong. But who soeuer geue the a blowe on the right cheke, tourne to hym the other. |
| 5:40 | And if anye man wyll sue the at the lawe, and take awaye thy coote, let hym haue thy clooke also. |
| 5:41 | And whosoeuer wyll compell the to goo a myle, goo with hym twaine. |
| 5:42 | Geue to hym that axeth, & from him that woulde borow tourne not away. |
| 5:43 | Ye haue hearde how it is said: thou shalt loue thy neighbour, and hate thyne enemy. |
| 5:44 | But I say vnto you loue your enemies. Blesse theim that cursse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which doo you wronge and persecute you, |
| 5:45 | that ye may be the chyldren of youre father that is in heauen: for he maketh his sonne to aryse on the yuyll, and on the good and sendeth his raine on the iust and vniust. |
| 5:46 | For if ye loue them, whiche loue you: what rewarde shall ye haue? Doo not the publicanes euen so? |
| 5:47 | And if ye be frendly to your brethren only what synguler thinge doo ye? Do not the publycanes likewyses? |
| 5:48 | Ye shall therfore be perfect, euen as your father which is in heauen, is perfect. |
