| 5:1 | And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him, |
| 5:2 | and having opened his mouth, he was teaching them, saying: |
| 5:3 | `Happy the poor in spirit -- because theirs is the reign of the heavens. |
| 5:4 | `Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted. |
| 5:5 | `Happy the meek -- because they shall inherit the land. |
| 5:6 | `Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness -- because they shall be filled. |
| 5:7 | `Happy the kind -- because they shall find kindness. |
| 5:8 | `Happy the clean in heart -- because they shall see God. |
| 5:9 | `Happy the peacemakers -- because they shall be called Sons of God. |
| 5:10 | `Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake -- because theirs is the reign of the heavens. |
| 5:11 | `Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for my sake -- |
| 5:12 | rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward `is' great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you. |
| 5:13 | `Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men. |
| 5:14 | `Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid; |
| 5:15 | nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house; |
| 5:16 | so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who `is' in the heavens. |
| 5:17 | `Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets -- I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill; |
| 5:18 | for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass. |
| 5:19 | `Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands -- the least -- and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach `them', he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. |
| 5:20 | `For I say to you, that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens. |
| 5:21 | `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment; |
| 5:22 | but I -- I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire. |
| 5:23 | `If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath anything against thee, |
| 5:24 | leave there thy gift before the altar, and go -- first be reconciled to thy brother, and then having come bring thy gift. |
| 5:25 | `Be agreeing with thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and to prison thou mayest be cast, |
| 5:26 | verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till that thou mayest pay the last farthing. |
| 5:27 | `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery; |
| 5:28 | but I -- I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart. |
| 5:29 | `But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. |
| 5:30 | `And, if thy right hand doth cause thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. |
| 5:31 | `And it was said, That whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce; |
| 5:32 | but I -- I say to you, that whoever may put away his wife, save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who hath been put away doth commit adultery. |
| 5:33 | `Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths; |
| 5:34 | but I -- I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God, |
| 5:35 | nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king, |
| 5:36 | nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black; |
| 5:37 | but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil. |
| 5:38 | `Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth; |
| 5:39 | but I -- I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other; |
| 5:40 | and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take -- suffer to him also the cloak. |
| 5:41 | `And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two, |
| 5:42 | to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away. |
| 5:43 | `Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt hate thine enemy; |
| 5:44 | but I -- I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you, |
| 5:45 | that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous. |
| 5:46 | `For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers the same? |
| 5:47 | and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so? |
| 5:48 | ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who `is' in the heavens is perfect. |
| 5:1 | When he sawe the people he went vp into a mountayne and when he was set his disciples came to hym |
| 5:2 | and he opened hys mouthe and taught them sayinge: |

| 5:13 | ye are ye salt of the erthe: but and yf ye salt have lost hir saltnes what can be salted ther with? It is thence forthe good for nothynge but to be cast oute and to be troade vnder fote of men. |
| 5:14 | Ye are ye light of the worlde. A cite yt is set on an hill cannot be hid |
| 5:15 | nether do men lyght a cadell and put it vnder a busshell but on a candelstick and it lighteth all that are in the house. |

| 5:17 | Thinke not yt I am come to destroye the lawe or the Prophets: no I am nott come to destroye them but to fulfyll them. |
| 5:18 | For truely I saye vnto you till heven and erth perisshe one iott or one tytle of the lawe shall not scape tyll all be fulfilled. |
| 5:19 | Whosoever breaketh one of these lest commaundmentes and teacheth men so he shalbe called the leest in the kyngdome of heve. But whosoever obserueth and teacheth ye same shal be called greate in the kyngdome of heven. |
| 5:20 | For I saye vnto you except youre rightewesnes excede the righetewesnes of ye Scribes and Pharises ye canot entre into ye kyngdome of heven. |
| 5:21 | Ye have herde howe it was sayd vnto the of ye olde tyme: Thou shalt not kyll. For whoso ever kylleth shall be in daunger of iudgemet. |
| 5:22 | But I say vnto you whosoever is angre with hys brother shalbe in daunger of iudgement. Whosoeuer sayeth vnto his brother Racha shalbe in dauger of a cousell. But whosoeuer sayeth thou fole shalbe in dauger of hell fyre. |

| 5:24 | leue there thyne offrynge before the altre and go thy waye first and be reconcyled to thy brother and then come and offre thy gyfte. |
| 5:25 | Agre with thyne adversary quicklye whyles thou arte in ye waye with hym lest that adversary deliver ye to ye iudge and ye iudge delivre ye to ye minister and the thou be cast into preson. |

| 5:29 | Wherfore yf thy right eye offende ye plucke hym out and caste him from the. Better it is for the yt one of thy membres perisshe then that thy hole bodye shuld be cast into hell. |
| 5:30 | Also if thy right honde offend ye cut hym of and caste hym from the. Better yt ys that one of thy membres perisshe then that all thy body shulde be caste in to hell. |
| 5:31 | It ys sayd whosoever put awaye his wyfe let hym geve her a testymonyall also of the devorcement. |

| 5:33 | Agayne ye haue hearde how it was sayd to the of olde tyme thou shalt not forsuere thy selfe but shalt performe thyne othe to God. |

| 5:47 | And yf ye be frendly to youre brethren onlye: what singuler thynge doo ye? Do not the Publicans lyke wyse? |
| 5:48 | ye shall therfore be perfecte eve as youre father which is in heauen is perfecte. |

| 5:12 | Reioyce and be glad, for greate is youre rewarde in heue.For so persecuted they the Prophetes which were before youre dayes. |
| 5:13 | Ye are ye salt of the earth, but and yf the salt haue lost his saltnes, what can be salted therwith? It is thence forth good for nothynge, but to be cast out, and to be trodden vnder fote of men. |
| 5:14 | Ye are the light of the worlde. A cite that is set on an hill, can not be hid: |
| 5:15 | nether do men lyght a candell, and put it vnder a busshell, but on a candelstick, and it lighteth all that are in the house. |
| 5:16 | Let youre light so shyne before men, that they maye se youre good workes, and glorify youre father which is in heauen. |
| 5:17 | Thinke not, that I am come to destroye the lawe, or the Prophetes: no, I am not come to destroye them, but to fulfyll them. |

| 5:21 | Ye haue herde, how it was sayde to the of the olde tyme: Thou shalt not kyll. For whosoeuer kylleth, shall be in daunger of iudgement. |
| 5:22 | But I saye vnto you: whosoeuer is angrie with his brother, is in daunger of the iudgement. Whosoeuer sayeth vnto his brother: Racha, is in daunger of ye cousell. But whosoeuer sayeth: thou foole, is in daunger of hell fyre. |
| 5:23 | Therfore when thou offrest thy gift at the altare, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought agaynst the: |
| 5:24 | leaue there thyne offrynge before the altare, and go thy waye first, and reconcyle thy selfe to thy brother, & then come and offre thy gyfte. |

| 5:27 | Ye haue herde, how it was sayde to them of olde tyme: Thou shalt not committe aduoutrie. |
| 5:28 | But I saye vnto you, that whosoeuer loketh on a wife lustinge after her, hath committed aduoutrie with hir already in his hert. |
| 5:29 | Wherfore yf thy right eye offende the, plucke hym out, and cast him from the. Better it is for the, that one of thy membres perisshe, then that thy whole body shulde be cast in to hell. |

| 5:33 | Agayne, ye haue herde, how it was sayde to the of olde tyme: Thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt performe thyne ooth to God. |
| 5:34 | But I saye vnto you: sweare not at all, nether by heaue, for it is Godis seate: |
