八福
1耶稣看见这些人群，就上了山，刚坐下，门徒便走到祂跟前， 2祂就开口教导他们，说：
3“心灵贫穷的人有福了，
因为天国是他们的。
4哀痛的人有福了，
因为他们必得安慰。
5谦和的人有福了，
因为他们必承受土地。
6爱慕公义如饥似渴的人有福了，
因为他们必得饱足。
7心存怜悯的人有福了，
因为他们必蒙上帝的怜悯。
8心灵纯洁的人有福了，
因为他们必看见上帝。
9使人和睦的人有福了，
因为他们必被称为上帝的儿女。
10为义受迫害的人有福了，
因为天国是他们的。
11“人们因为我的缘故侮辱、迫害、肆意毁谤你们，你们就有福了。 12要欢喜快乐，因为你们在天上有很大的奖赏。他们也曾这样迫害以前的先知。
盐和光
13“你们是世上的盐。如果盐失去咸味，怎能使它再变咸呢？它将毫无用处，只有被丢在外面任人践踏。 14你们是世上的光，如同建在山上的城一样无法隐藏。 15人点亮了灯，不会把它放在斗底下，而是放在灯台上，好照亮全家。 16同样，你们的光也应当照在人面前，好让他们看见你们的好行为，便赞美你们天上的父。
成全律法
17“不要以为我是来废除律法和先知书，我不是来废除，乃是来成全。 18我实在告诉你们，就是到天地都消失了，律法的一点一划都不会废除，全都要成就。 19所以，谁违背这些诫命中最小的一条，并教导别人违背，谁在天国将被称为最小的。但谁遵守这些诫命，并教导别人遵守，谁在天国将被称为大的。 20我告诉你们，除非你们的义胜过律法教师和法利赛人的义，否则断不能进天国。
论仇恨
21“你们听过吩咐古人的话，‘不可杀人，杀人的要受审判。’ 22但我告诉你们，凡无缘无故5:22 有古卷无“无缘无故”。向弟兄发怒的，要受审判；凡骂弟兄是白痴的，要受公会5:22 “公会”是当时犹太人的最高司法机构，处理宗教、道德和伦理等事务。的审判；凡骂弟兄是笨蛋的，难逃地狱的火。
23“所以，你在祭坛前献祭的时候，要是想起有弟兄和你有过节， 24就该把祭物留在祭坛前，先去跟他和好，然后再来献祭。
25“趁着你和告你的人还在去法庭的路上，你要赶紧与对方和解。不然，他会把你交给审判官，审判官会把你交给差役关进监牢。 26我实在告诉你，要是有一分钱没有还清，你绝不能从那里出来。
论通奸
27“你们听过这样的话，‘不可通奸。’ 28但我告诉你们，凡看见妇女就动淫念的，他在心里已经犯了通奸罪。 29如果你的右眼使你犯罪，就把它剜掉！宁可失去身体的一部分，也比整个人下地狱好。 30如果你的右手使你犯罪，就把它砍掉！宁可失去身体的一部分，也比整个人下地狱好。
论休妻
31“还有话说，‘人若休妻，必须给她休书’。 32但我告诉你们，除非是妻子不贞，否则，休妻就是使妻子犯通奸罪，娶被休女子的人也犯了通奸罪。
论起誓
33“你们也听过吩咐古人的话，‘不可违背誓言，总要向主遵守所起的誓。’ 34但我告诉你们，不可起誓。不可指着天起誓，因为天是上帝的宝座。 35不可指着地起誓，因为地是上帝的脚凳。不可指着圣城耶路撒冷起誓，因为那是大君王的城。 36也不可指着自己的头起誓，因为你不能使一根头发变黑或变白。 37你们说话，是就说是，不是就说不是，多说的便是来自那恶者5:37 那恶者即魔鬼，又名撒旦。。
论爱仇敌
38“你们听过这样的话，‘以眼还眼，以牙还牙。’ 39但我告诉你们，不要跟恶人作对。有人打你的右脸，连左脸也转过来让他打。 40有人想控告你，要夺取你的内衣，连外衣也给他。 41有人强迫你走一里路，你就跟他走二里路。 42有求你的，就给他；有向你借的，不可拒绝他。
43“你们听过这样的话，‘要爱邻居，恨仇敌。’ 44但我告诉你们，要爱仇敌，为迫害你们的人祷告。 45这样，你们才是天父的孩子。因为祂让阳光照好人也照坏人，降雨给义人也给恶人。 46如果你们只爱那些爱你们的人，有什么值得嘉奖的呢？就是税吏也会这样做。 47如果你们只问候自己的弟兄，有什么特别呢？就是外族人也会这样做。 48所以，你们要纯全，正如你们的天父是纯全的。
Jesus Teaches the Disciples and Crowds
1Jesus saw the crowds. So he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him. 2Then he began to teach them.
Jesus Gives Blessings
He said,
3“Blessed are those who are spiritually needy.
The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.
4Blessed are those who are sad.
They will be comforted.
5Blessed are those who are humble.
They will be given the earth.
6Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for what is right.
They will be filled.
7Blessed are those who show mercy.
They will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are those whose hearts are pure.
They will see God.
9Blessed are those who make peace.
They will be called children of God.
10Blessed are those who suffer for doing what is right.
The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.
11“Blessed are you when people make fun of you and hurt you because of me. You are also blessed when they tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me. 12Be joyful and glad. Your reward in heaven is great. In the same way, people hurt the prophets who lived long ago.
Salt and Light
13“You are the salt of the earth. But suppose the salt loses its saltiness. How can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything. It will be thrown out. People will walk all over it.
14“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill can’t be hidden. 15Also, people do not light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand. Then it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine so others can see it. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will bring glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Jesus Fulfills the Law
17“Do not think I have come to get rid of what is written in the Law or in the Prophets. I have not come to do this. Instead, I have come to fulfill what is written. 18What I’m about to tell you is true. Heaven and earth will disappear before the smallest letter disappears from the Law. Not even the smallest mark of a pen will disappear from the Law until everything is completed. 19Do not ignore even one of the least important commands. And do not teach others to ignore them. If you do, you will be called the least important person in the kingdom of heaven. Instead, practice and teach these commands. Then you will be called important in the kingdom of heaven. 20Here is what I tell you. You must be more godly than the Pharisees and the teachers of the law. If you are not, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Murder
21“You have heard what was said to people who lived long ago. They were told, ‘Do not commit murder. (Exodus 20:13) Anyone who murders will be judged for it.’ 22But here is what I tell you. Do not be angry with a brother or sister. Anyone who is angry with them will be judged. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ must stand trial in court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire in hell.
23“Suppose you are offering your gift at the altar. And you remember that your brother or sister has something against you. 24Leave your gift in front of the altar. First go and make peace with them. Then come back and offer your gift.
25“Suppose someone has a claim against you and is taking you to court. Settle the matter quickly. Do this while you are still together on the way. If you don’t, you may be handed over to the judge. The judge may hand you over to the officer to be thrown into prison. 26What I’m about to tell you is true. You will not get out until you have paid the very last penny!
Adultery
27“You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ (Exodus 20:14) 28But here is what I tell you. Do not even look at a woman in the wrong way. Anyone who does has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, poke it out and throw it away. Your eye is only one part of your body. It is better to lose an eye than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. Your hand is only one part of your body. It is better to lose a hand than for your whole body to go into hell.
Divorce
31“It has been said, ‘Suppose a man divorces his wife. If he does, he must give her a letter of divorce.’ (Deuteronomy 24:1) 32But here is what I tell you. Anyone who divorces his wife makes her a victim of adultery. And anyone who gets married to the divorced woman commits adultery. A man may divorce his wife only if she has not been faithful to him.
Promises
33“Again, you have heard what was said to your people long ago. They were told, ‘Do not break the promises you make to the Lord. Keep your promises to the Lord that you have made.’ 34But here is what I tell you. Do not make any promises like that at all. Do not make them in the name of heaven. That is God’s throne. 35Do not make them in the name of the earth. That is the stool for God’s feet. Do not make them in the name of Jerusalem. That is the city of the Great King. 36And do not make a promise in your own name. You can’t make even one hair of your head white or black. 37All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ Anything more than this comes from the evil one.
Be Kind to Others
38“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye must be put out for an eye. A tooth must be knocked out for a tooth.’ (Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 24:20; Deuteronomy 19:21) 39But here is what I tell you. Do not fight against an evil person. Suppose someone slaps you on your right cheek. Turn your other cheek to them also. 40Suppose someone takes you to court to get your shirt. Let them have your coat also. 41Suppose someone forces you to go one mile. Go two miles with them. 42Give to the one who asks you for something. Don’t turn away from the one who wants to borrow something from you.
Love Your Enemies
43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor. (Leviticus 19:18) Hate your enemy.’ 44But here is what I tell you. Love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you. 45Then you will be children of your Father who is in heaven. He causes his sun to shine on evil people and good people. He sends rain on those who do right and those who don’t. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Even the tax collectors do that. 47If you greet only your own people, what more are you doing than others? Even people who are ungodly do that. 48So be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
