ST. MATTHEW
CHAPTER 5.

taught them, saying,
8 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
| for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for
they shall be cOmfOrted.
) Blessed are the meek: for they
shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hun
ger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
Z Blessed are the merciful: for they
shall obtain mercy.
s Blessed are the pure In heart:
for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: Tor
they shall be called the children OF
God.
10 Blessed are they which are per-
secuted for righteousness sake: Tor
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
II Blessed are We, when men shall
revile you, and prosecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against
YOU falsely, for my sake.
II Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so prosecuted they the prophets
which were before you.
Is Ye arc the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his SAVIOUR,
wherewith shall it be saited! 1t Is
thenceforth good for nothing, but to
/ be cast out, and to be trOdden under
( foot of men.
II Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on an hill cannot
be hid
Is Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under 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.
II Think not that | am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets: /
am not come TO destroy, but TO fulfil.
IS For verify | say unto you, Till
| heaven and earth pass, one jOt or one
title shall in no wise pass from the
law, till all be fulfilled.
10 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 whatsoever shall do and teach
them, the same shall be called great
, in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For say unto you, That eX-
cept your righteousness shall exceed
the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, We shall in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
q Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt not
kill: and whatsoever shall kill shall be
in danger of the judgment;
% But | say unto you, That who
sOever is angry with his brother with
out cause shall be in danger OF the
Judgment: and whatsoever shall say
to his brother, Raca, shall be in dan
ger of the council: but whOsoever
shall say, Thou fool, shall be in dam
ger of hell fire.
% Therefore if thou bring thy gift
to the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath ought against
thee;
"a Leave there thy gift before
the altar, and go thy way; hurst De
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 adyer-
sary deliver thee to the Judge and
the Judge deliver thee to the olhcer'
and thou be cast into prison.
&c Verify l say unto thee Thou
shalt by no means come out thence
till thou hast paid the uttermost FAR
thing.
81 We have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt not
commit adultery:
rs But | say unto you, That whose
ever looketh on woman to lust aiter
her hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart.
90 And if thy right eye offend thee'
pluck it Out, and cast it from thee;
for it is profitable for thee that one
of thy members should perish anc
not that thy whole body should be
cast into hell,
80 And if thy right hand oil end
thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee;
for it is profitable for thee that one
of thy members should perish and
not that thy whole body should DC
, cast into hell.
81 1t hath been said Whosoever
shall put away his wife, let him give
