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”.
