Matthew 5
5
1It came to pass after this; when he saw the crowds; that he went up on the mountain and sat down. Then his disciples came to him
2and he opened his mouth and spoke to them saying:
3“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are the humble in Spirit [Ruach], for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven”.
4“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted”.
5“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth”.
6“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied”.
7“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy”.
8“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are the pure of heart, for they shall see Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God]”.
9“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are those who pursue peace, for they shall be called sons of Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God]”.
10“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven”.
11“Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are you when they persecute and revile you and say all kinds of evil against you for my sake, but speak falsely”.
12“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is very great in heaven; for thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you”.
13At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “You are salt in the world. If the salt is neutralized in regard to its taste with what will it be salted? It is fit for nothing but to be cast outside to be trampled underfoot”.
14“You are light in the world. A city built upon a hill cannot be hidden”.
15“They do not light a lamp to place it in a hidden place where it cannot shine; but they place it upon a lamp-stand so that it might shine for all in the house”.
16“Thus let your light shine before every man to show them your good deeds which give praise and glory to your Father Who is in heaven”.
17At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “Do not think that I am come to annul the Torah or the Prophets, but to fulfill”.
18“Truly I say to you that until heaven and earth depart, one letter or one nikkudot (which means: ‘vowel point’) shall not be abolished from the Torah or the Prophets, because all will be fulfilled”.
19“He who shall transgress one word of these commandments and shall teach others shall be called ‘a vain person’, in the Kingdom of heaven; but whoever upholds and teaches them shall be called ‘great’, in the Kingdom of heaven”.
20At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “Truly I say to you: if your righteousness is not greater than the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and the Torah-teachers (Scribes), you shall not enter into the Kingdom of heaven”.
21“Have you not heard what was said to those of old: ‘You shall not murder and whoever murders is guilty of a judgment of death’”?
22“But I say to you, he who angers his companion is guilty of judgment; he who calls his brother inferior shall be guilty of judgment before the congregation; he who calls him a fool is guilty of the fire of Gei-Hinnom [hell, valley of evil counsel]”.
23“If you should offer your gift at the altar and remember that you have a quarrel with your companion and he is complaining about you because of this matter”,
24“leave your gift there before the altar and go to appease him first and afterwards offer your gift”.
25Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “See that you hasten to appease your enemy while you are walking with him in the way lest he deliver you to the judge and this judge delivers you to the slave to put you into prison”.
26“Truly I say to you, you will not come out from there until the last piece of money is given”.
27Again he said to them: “You have heard what was said to those of long ago: You shall not commit adultery”.
28“But I say to you that everyone who sees a woman and covets her has already committed adultery with her in his heart”.
29“If you right eye seduces you, pluck it out and cast it from you”.
30“Also, if your hand seduces you, cut it off. It is better for you to suffer (allow, to let, permit) the loss of one of your limbs than all your body in Gei-Hinnom [hell, valley of evil counsel]”.
31Again Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “You have heard what was said to those of long ago that everyone who leaves his wife and divorces her is to give her a bill of divorce”,
32“And I say to you that everyone who leaves his wife is to give her a bill of divorce. But concerning adultery. he is the one who commits adultery and he who takes her commits adultery”.
33“Again you have heard what was said to those of long ago: You shall not swear by My Name falsely, but you shall return to Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] your oath”.
34“But I say to you not to swear uselessly in any matter, neither by Heaven because it is the throne of The Mighty One”,
35“nor by Earth because it is the footstool of His feet, nor by Yerushalayim [abode of peace] because it is the city of The Mighty One”.
36“nor by your head for you are not able to make one hair white or black”.
37“But let your words be ‘yes yes’ or ‘no no’. Everything in addition to this is evil”.
38“Again you have heard what is said in the Torah: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”.
39“But I say to you, do not repay evil for evil; but he who smites your right cheek provide for him the left”.
40“He who wishes to oppose you in judgment and to rob your shirt, leave to him your garment”.
41“He who asks you to go with him a thousand steps, go with him two thousand”.
42“To him who asks from you give and from him who wishes to borrow from you do not hold back”.
43Again Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “You have heard what was said to those of long ago that you shall love the one who loves you and hate the one who hates you”.
44“But I say to you, love your enemies, do good to the one who hates you and vexes you and pray for those who persecute you and oppress you”,
45“in order that you might be sons of your Father Who is in heaven Who causes His sun to shine on the good and evil and causes it to rain on the just and the unjust”.
46“If you love those who love you what is your reward? Do not the Goyim [Gentiles] love those who love them?”
47“And if you greet your friends only, what do you do more than others? Do not the Goyim [Gentiles] do the same?”
48“Be you perfect as your Father Who is in heaven is perfect”.

Matthew 5
5
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him: 2and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
10Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. 14Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15Neither 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. 16Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For 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. 19Whosoever 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. 20For 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.
21Ye 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: 22but 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. 23If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25Agree with thine adversary quickly, while 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. 26Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.
27Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28but 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. 29And 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. 30And 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. 31It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32but 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.
33Again, 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: 34but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; 35nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one.
38Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two. 42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: 44but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; 45that ye may be sons of your Father who 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. 46For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same? 48Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
