Matthew 5

1 Christ beginning his sermon in the mount: 3 declaring who are blessed, 13 who are the salt of the earth, 14 the light of the world, the city on an hill, 15 the candle: 17 that he came to fulfill the Law. 21 What it is to kill, 27 to commit adultery, 33 to swear: 38 exhorteth to suffer wrong, 44 to love even our enemies, 48 and to labour after perfectness.

 5:1 ¶ And 1161 seeing 1492 z5631 the x3793 multitudes, 3793 he went vp 305 z5627 into 1519 a mountaine: 3735 and 2532 when he 846 was set, 2523 z5660 his 846 disciples 3101 came 4334 z5656 vnto him. 846

 5:2 And 2532 he opened 455 z5660 his y846 x848 mouth, 4750 and taught 1321 z5707 them, 846 saying, 3004 z5723

 5:3 Blessed 3107 [are] the x3588 poore 4434 in spirit: 4151 for 3754 theirs 846 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 kingdome 932 of heauen. 3772

 5:4 Blessed 3107 [are] they that mourne: 3996 z5723 for 3754 they 846 shall be comforted. 3870 z5701

 5:5 Blessed 3107 [are] the meeke: 4239 for 3754 they 846 shall inherit 2816 z5692 the x3588 earth. 1093

 5:6 Blessed 3107 [are] they which y3588 doe hunger 3983 z5723 and 2532 thirst 1372 z5723 after righteousnesse: 1343 for 3754 they 846 shall be filled. 5526 z5701

 5:7 Blessed 3107 [are] the x3588 mercifull: 1655 for 3754 they 846 shall obtaine mercie. 1653 z5701

 5:8 Blessed 3107 [are] the x3588 pure 2513 in heart: 2588 for 3754 they 846 shall see 3700 z5695 God. 2316

 5:9 Blessed 3107 [are] the x3588 peacemakers: 1518 for 3754 they 846 shall bee called 2564 z5701 the children 5207 of God. 2316

 5:10 Blessed 3107 [are] they which are persecuted 1377 z5772 for y1752 righteousnesse sake: 1343 x1752 for 3754 theirs 846 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 kingdome 932 of heauen. 3772

 5:11 Blessed 3107 [are] x2075 ye, y2075 z5748 when 3752 men shall reuile 3679 z5661 you, 5209 and 2532 persecute 1377 z5661 you, and 2532 shal say 2036 z5632 all manner y3956 of euill 4190 4487 x3956 against 2596 you 5216 falsly 5574 z5730 for my sake. 1752 1700

 5:12 Reioyce, 5463 z5720 and 2532 be exceeding glad: 21 z5737 for 3754 great 4183 is your 5216 reward 3408 in 1722 heauen: 3772 For 1063 so 3779 persecuted x1377 they y1377 z5656 the x3588 Prophets 4396 which 3588 were before 4253 you. 5216

 5:13 ¶ Yee 5210 are 2075 z5748 the x3588 salt 217 of the x3588 earth: 1093 But 1161 if 1437 the x3588 salt 217 haue lost his sauour, 3471 z5686 wherewith 1722 5101 shall it bee salted? 233 z5701 It is thenceforth 2089 good 2480 z5719 for 1519 nothing, 3762 but 1508 to be cast 906 z5683 out, 1854 and 2532 to be troden vnder foote 2662 z5745 of 5259 men. 444

 5:14 Yee 5210 are 2075 z5748 the x3588 light 5457 of the x3588 world. 2889 A citie 4172 that is set 2749 z5740 on 1883 an hill, 3735 cannot 3756 1410 z5736 be hid. 2928 z5650

 5:15 Neither 3761 doe men light 2545 z5719 a candle, 3088 and 2532 put 5087 z5719 it 846 vnder 5259 a bushell: 3426 but 235 on 1909 a candlesticke, 3087 and 2532 it giueth light 2989 z5719 vnto all 3956 that x3588 are in 1722 the x3588 house. 3614

 5:16 Let your 5216 light 5457 so 3779 shine 2989 z5657 before 1715 men, 444 that 3704 they may see 1492 z5632 your 5216 good 2570 workes, 2041 and 2532 glorifie 1392 z5661 your 5216 father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heauen. 3772

 5:17 ¶ Thinke 3543 z5661 not 3361 that 3754 I am come 2064 z5627 to destroy 2647 z5658 the x3588 lawe 3551 or 2228 the x3588 Prophets. 4396 I am y2064 z0 not 3756 come 2064 z5627 to destroy, 2647 z5658 but 235 to fulfill. 4137 z5658

 5:18 For 1063 verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 Till 2193 y302 heauen 3772 and 2532 earth 1093 passe, 3928 z5632 one 1520 iote 2503 or 2228 one 3391 title, 2762 shall in no wise 3364 passe 3928 z5632 from 575 the x3588 law, 3551 till 2193 y302 all 3956 be fulfilled. 1096 z5638

 5:19 Whosoeuer 3739 1437 therfore 3767 shall breake 3089 z5661 one 3391 of these 5130 least 1646 commaundements, 1785 and 2532 shall teach 1321 z5661 men 444 so, 3779 he shall be called 2564 z5701 the least 1646 in 1722 the x3588 kingdome 932 of heauen: 3772 but 1161 whosoeuer 3739 302 shall doe, 4160 z5661 and 2532 teach 1321 z5661 [them], the same 3778 shall be called 2564 z5701 great 3173 in 1722 the x3588 kingdome 932 of heauen. 3772

 5:20 For 1063 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 That 3754 except 3362 your 5216 righteousnesse 1343 shall exceede 4052 4119 z5661 the righteousnesse of the x3588 Scribes 1122 and 2532 Pharisees, 5330 yee shall in no case 3364 enter 1525 z5632 into 1519 the x3588 kingdome 932 of heauen. 3772

 5:21 ¶ Yee haue heard, 191 z5656 that 3754 it was saide 4483 z5681 by them of old time, 744 Thou shalt y5407 z0 not 3756 kill: 5407 z5692 and, 1161 Whosoeuer 3739 302 shall kill, 5407 z5661 shalbe 2071 z5704 in danger 1777 of the x3588 iudgement. 2920

 5:22 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 that 3754 whosoeuer 3956 is angry 3710 z5746 with his y846 x848 brother 80 without a cause, 1500 shall be 2071 z5704 in danger 1777 of the x3588 Iudgement: 2920 and 1161 whosoeuer 3739 302 shall say 2036 z5632 to his y846 x848 brother, 80 Racha, 4469 shal be 2071 z5704 in danger 1777 of the x3588 counsell: 4892 but 1161 whosoeuer 3739 302 shall say, 2036 z5632 [Thou] foole, 3474 shalbe 2071 z5704 in danger 1777 of 1519 hell 1067 fire. 4442

 5:23 Therefore 3767 if 1437 thou bring 4374 z5725 thy 4675 gift 1435 to 1909 the x3588 altar, 2379 and there 2546 remembrest 3415 z5686 that 3754 thy 4675 brother 80 hath 2192 z5719 ought 5100 against 2596 thee: 4675

 5:24 Leaue 863 z5628 there 1563 thy 4675 gift 1435 before 1715 the x3588 altar, 2379 and 2532 goe thy way, 5217 z5720 first 4412 be reconciled 1259 z5649 to thy 4675 brother, 80 and 2532 then 5119 come 2064 z5631 and offer 4374 z5720 thy 4675 gift. 1435

 5:25 Agree 2468 2132 z5749 z5723 with thine 4675 aduersarie 476 quickly, 5035 whiles 2193 y3755 thou x3757 art 1488 z5748 in 1722 the x3588 way 3598 with 3326 him: 846 least at any time 3379 the x3588 aduersarie 476 deliuer 3860 z5632 thee 4571 to the x3588 iudge, 2923 and 2532 the x3588 iudge 2923 deliuer 3860 z5632 thee 4571 to the x3588 officer, 5257 and 2532 thou be cast 906 z5701 into 1519 prison. 5438

 5:26 Uerily 281 I say 3004 z5719 vnto thee, 4671 thou shalt y1831 z0 by no meanes 3364 come y1831 z5632 out x1831 thence, 1564 till 2193 302 thou hast payd 591 z5632 the x3588 vttermost 2078 farthing. 2835

 5:27 ¶ Yee haue heard 191 z5656 that 3754 it was said 4483 z5681 by them of old time, 744 Thou shalt y3431 z0 not 3756 commit adulterie. 3431 z5692

 5:28 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 That 3754 whosoeuer 3956 looketh 991 z5723 on a woman 1135 to y4314 lust x1937 after y1937 z5658 her, 846 hath committed adulterie 3431 z5656 with her 846 already 2235 in 1722 his y846 x848 heart. 2588

 5:29 And 1161 if 1487 thy 4675 right 1188 eie 3788 offend 4624 z5719 thee, 4571 plucke y1807 z0 it y846 out, 1807 z5628 x846 and 2532 cast 906 z5628 it from 575 thee. 4675 For 1063 it is profitable y4851 z5719 x4861 for thee 4671 that 2443 one 1520 of thy 4675 members 3196 should perish, 622 z5643 and 2532 not 3361 that thy 4675 whole 3650 body 4983 should be cast 906 z5686 into 1519 hell. 1067

 5:30 And 2532 if 1487 thy 4675 right 1188 hand 5495 offend 4624 z5719 thee, 4571 cut y1581 z0 it y846 off, 1581 z5657 x846 and 2532 cast 906 z5628 it from 575 thee. 4675 For 1063 it is profitable 4851 z5719 for thee 4671 that 2443 one 1520 of thy 4675 members 3196 should perish, 622 z5643 and 2532 not 3361 that thy 4675 whole 3650 body 4983 should be cast 906 z5686 into 1519 hell. 1067

 5:31 y1161 It x1161 hath beene said, 4483 z5681 y3754 Whosoeuer 3739 302 shall put away 630 z5661 his y846 x848 wife, 1135 let him giue 1325 z5628 her 846 a writing of diuorcement. 647

 5:32 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 that 3754 whosoeuer 3739 302 shall put away 630 z5661 his y846 x848 wife, 1135 sauing y3924 for x3924 the cause 3056 of fornication, 4202 causeth 4160 z5719 her 846 to commit adultery: 3429 z5738 and 2532 whosoeuer 3739 1437 shall marie 1060 z5661 her that is diuorced, 630 z5772 committeth adulterie. 3429 z5736

 5:33 ¶ Againe, 3825 yee haue heard 191 z5656 that 3754 it hath beene said 4483 z5681 by them of old time, 744 Thou shalt y1964 z0 not 3756 forsweare x1964 thy selfe, y1964 z5692 but 1161 shalt performe 591 z5692 vnto the x3588 Lord 2962 thine 4675 othes. 3727

 5:34 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 Sweare 3660 z5658 not 3361 at all, 3654 neither 3383 by 1722 heauen, 3772 for 3754 it is 2076 z5748 Gods 2316 throne: 2362

 5:35 Nor 3383 by 1722 the x3588 earth, 1093 for 3754 it is 2076 z5748 his 846 footstoole: 4228 5286 neither 3383 by 1519 Hierusalem, 2414 for 3754 it is 2076 z5748 the citie 4172 of the x3588 great 3173 king. 935

 5:36 Neither 3383 shalt thou sweare 3660 z5661 by 1722 thy 4675 head, 2776 because 3754 thou canst 1410 z5736 not 3756 make 4160 z5658 one 3391 haire 2359 white 3022 or 2228 blacke. 3189

 5:37 But 1161 let y2077 z0 your 5216 communication 3056 bee 2077 z5749 Yea, 3483 yea: 3483 Nay, 3756 nay: 3756 For 1161 whatsoeuer is more 4053 then these, 5130 commeth 2076 z5748 of 1537 euill. 4190

 5:38 ¶ Yee haue heard 191 z5656 that 3754 it hath beene said, 4483 z5681 An eie 3788 for 473 an eie, 3788 and 2532 a tooth 3599 for 473 a tooth. 3599

 5:39 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 that yee resist 436 z5629 not 3361 euill: 4190 but 235 whosoeuer 3748 shall smite 4474 z5692 thee 4571 on 1909 thy 4675 right 1188 cheeke, 4600 turne 4762 z5657 to him 846 the x3588 other 243 also. 2532

 5:40 And 2532 if any man will 2309 z5723 sue y2919 z0 thee y4671 at the law, 2919 z5683 x4671 and 2532 take away 2983 z5629 thy 4675 coate, 5509 let y863 z0 him 846 haue 863 z5628 thy cloake 2440 also. 2532

 5:41 And 2532 whosoeuer 3748 shall compell y29 z0 thee y4571 to goe 29 z5692 x4571 a 1520 mile, 3400 goe 5217 z5720 with 3326 him 846 twaine. 1417

 5:42 Giue 1325 z5720 to him that asketh 154 z5723 thee: 4571 and 2532 from him that would 2309 z5723 borrow 1155 z5670 of 575 thee, 4675 turne y654 z0 not y3361 thou away. 654 z5652 x3361

 5:43 ¶ Yee haue heard, 191 z5656 that 3754 it hath beene said, 4483 z5681 Thou shalt loue 25 z5692 thy 4675 neighbour, 4139 and 2532 hate 3404 z5692 thine 4675 enemie: 2190

 5:44 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 Loue 25 z5720 your 5216 enemies, 2190 blesse 2127 z5720 them that curse 2672 z5740 you, 5209 doe 4160 z5720 good 2573 to them that hate 3404 z5723 you, 5209 and 2532 pray 4336 z5737 for 5228 them which y3588 despitefully vse 1908 z5723 you, 5209 and 2532 persecute 1377 z5723 you: 5209

 5:45 That 3704 yee may be 1096 z5638 the children 5207 of your 5216 father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heauen: 3772 for 3754 he maketh y393 z0 his y846 x848 sunne 2246 to rise 393 z5719 on 1909 the euill 4190 and 2532 on the good, 18 and 2532 sendeth raine 1026 z5719 on 1909 the iust, 1342 and 2532 on the vniust. 94

 5:46 For 1063 if 1437 yee loue 25 z5661 them which y3588 loue 25 z5723 you, 5209 what 5101 reward 3408 haue x2192 yee? y2192 z5719 Doe 4160 z5719 not 3780 euen 2532 the x3588 Publicanes 5057 the x3588 same? 846

 5:47 And 2532 if 1437 yee salute 782 z5667 your 5216 brethren 80 only, 3440 what 5101 do 4160 z5719 you more 4053 [then others]? Doe 4160 z5719 not 3780 euen 2532 the x3588 Publicanes 5057 so? 3779

 5:48 Be 2071 z5704 yee 5210 therefore 3767 perfect, 5046 euen y5618 as x5618 your 5216 father, 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heauen, 3772 is 2076 z5748 perfect. 5046
