| 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. |

| 5:21 | 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. |

| 5:27 | Yee haue heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adulterie. |

| 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. |

| 5:33 | 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. |

| 5:36 | 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. |

| 5:40 | And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloake also. |

| 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. |

| 5:15 | 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. |

| 5:22 | 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, |

| 5:28 | 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. |

| 5:45 | 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 mountayne, and when he was sett, hys discyples came to him: |
| 5:2 | and after that he had opened hys mouth, he taught them, sayinge: |
| 5:3 | Blessed are the poore in sprete, for theyrs is the kyngdome of heauen. |
| 5:4 | Blessed are they that mourne, for they shall receaue comfort. |
| 5:5 | Blessed are the meke: for they shall receaue the enheritaunce of the earth. |
| 5:6 | Blessed are they which honger and thyrst after ryghteousnes: for they shalbe satisfyed. |
| 5:7 | Blessed are the mercyful: for they shall obteyne mercy. |
| 5:8 | Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God. |
| 5:9 | Blessed are the peace makers: for they shalbe called the children of God. |
| 5:10 | Blessed are they which suffre persecucyon for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. |
| 5:11 | Blessed are ye, when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and shall falesy say all maner of euyll sayinge against you, for my sake. |
| 5:12 | Reioyse & be glad for greate is your rewarde in heuen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, which were before you. |
| 5:13 | Ye are the salt of the earth: But yf the salt haue lost the saltnes, what shalbe seasoned therwith? It is thence forth good for nothynge, but to be cast out, and to be troaden downe of men. |
| 5:14 | Ye are the light of the world. A cytie that is set on an hyll cannot be hyd, |
| 5:15 | nether do men lyght a candell, and put it vnder a busshell, but on a candelstyck, and it geueth light vnto all that are in the house. |
| 5:16 | Let your light so shyne before men. That they maye se your good worckes, & gloryfy your father, which is in heauen. |
| 5:17 | Thynke not that I am come to destroye the lawe, or the prophetes: no, I am not come to destroye, but to fulfyll. |
| 5:18 | For truely I saye vnto you: tyll heauen and earth passe, one iott or one tytle of the lawe shal not scape, tyll all be fulfylled. |
| 5:19 | Whosoeuer therfore breaketh one of these leest commaundementes, and teacheth men so, he shalbe called the leest in the kyngdome of heauen. But whosoeuer doeth and teacheth, the same shalbe called greate in the kyngdome of heauen. |
| 5:20 | For I saye vnto you: except your righteousnesse exceade the ryghteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharises, ye cannot entre into the kyngdome of heauen. |
| 5:21 | Ye haue heard that it was sayd vnto them of the olde tyme. Thou shalt no kyll: whosoeuer killeth, shalbe in daunger of iudgement. |
| 5:22 | But I say vnto you: that whosoeuer is angrye with hys brother (vnaduysedly) shalbe in daunger of iudgement. And whosoeuer saye vnto hys brother Racha, shalbe in daunger of a councell. But whosoeuer sayeth thou foole, shalbe in daunger of hell fyre. |
| 5:23 | Therfore, yf thou offrest thy gyfte at the aulter, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought agaynst the: |
| 5:24 | leaue ther thyne offringe before the aulter & go thy waye fyrst, and be reconcyled to thy brother, and then come, and offre thy gyfte. |
| 5:25 | Agree with thyne aduersary quycklye whyles thou art in the waye with him, lest at any tyme the aduersary deliuer the to the iudge, and the iudge delyuer the to the mynister, and then thou be cast into preson. |
| 5:26 | Uerely, I say vnto the: thou shalt not come out thence, tyll thou haue payed the vtmost farthynge. |
| 5:27 | Ye haue herde that it was sayd vnto them of olde tyme. Thou shall no committ aduoutrye. |
| 5:28 | But I say vnto you that whosoeuer loketh on another mans wyfe to lust after her, hath commytted aduoutrye with her all ready in hys hert. |
| 5:29 | Yf thy ryght eye hynder the, plucke hym out, and cast hym from the. For better it is vnto the, that one of thy membres perysshe, then that thy whole body shuld be cast into hell. |
| 5:30 | And yf thy ryght hande hynder the, cutt hym of, and cast hym from the. For better it is vnto the, that one of thy membres perysshe, then that all thy body shulde be cast into hell. |
| 5:31 | It is sayd, whosoeuer putteth awaye his wyfe, lett hym geue her a letter of the deuorcement. |
| 5:32 | But I say vnto you: that whosoeuer doth put awaye his wyfe (excepte it be for fornycacyon) causeth her to breake matrymony. And whosoeuer maryeth her that is deuorsed commiteth aduoutrye. |
| 5:33 | Agayne, ye haue hearde how it was sayd to them of olde tyme: thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt perfourme vnto the Lorde those thinges that thou swearest. |
| 5:34 | But I say vnto you: sweare not at all: nether by heauen, for it is Goddes seate, |
| 5:35 | nor by the earth, for it is his fote stole: nether by Ierusalem, for it is the cytie of the great king: |
| 5:36 | nether shalt thou sweare by thy heed, because thou canst not make one heare whyte or blacke. |
| 5:37 | But your communicacyon shalbe, ye, ye, nay, nay: For whatsoeuer is added more then these, it commeth of euyll. |
| 5:38 | Ye haue hearde that it is sayd: an eye for an eye: and a toth for a toth. |
| 5:39 | But I saye vnto you, that ye resist not euell. But whosoeuer geue the a blowe on the ryght cheke, turne to hym the other also. |
| 5:40 | And yf eny man wyll sue the at the law, and take awaye thy coate, let him haue thy clooke also. |
| 5:41 | And whosoeuer wyll compell the to go a myle, go with him twayne. |
| 5:42 | Geue to him that asketh the, and from hym that wolde borowe, turne not thou awaye. |
| 5:43 | Ye haue heard that it is sayde, thou shalt loue thyne neyghbour, and hate thyne enemy. |
| 5:44 | But I saye vnto you: loue your enemyes. Blesse them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Praye for them which hurt you and persecute you, |
| 5:45 | that ye maye be the children of your father which is in heauen: for he maketh his sonne to aryse on the euell, & on the good, & sendeth rayne on the iust & on the vniust. |
| 5:46 | For yf ye loue them which loue you: what reward haue ye? Do not the publycans also euen the same? |
| 5:47 | And yf ye make moche of your brethren only, what singuler thinge do ye? Do not also the publicans lykewise? |
| 5:48 | ye shall therfore be perfecte, euen as your father which is in heauen is perfecte. |
