But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
2 and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —

10 Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 Blessed are ye when [men] shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on by men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
15 Neither do [men] light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.
Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 Even so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.
Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.
For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
For I say unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
22 but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,
If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.
Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
27 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell. (Geenna g1067)

31 It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
32 but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery.
But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
33 Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
34 but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;
But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
37 But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one].
But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Ye have heard, that it was said, —Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
39 but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
40 And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him twain.
And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;
But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
45 that ye may be sons of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.
That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
46 For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the Gentiles the same?
And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
48 Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
