Matthew 5:14-28
-
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
-
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
-
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
-
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
-
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
-
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
-
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
-
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
-
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
-
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought 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.
-
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
-
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
-
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
-
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
