Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

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 up 305 z5627 into 1519 a mountain: 3735 and 2532 when he 846 was set, 2523 z5660 his 846 disciples 3101 came 4334 z5656 unto 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 poor 4434 in spirit: 4151 for 3754 theirs 846 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven. 3772

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

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

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

 5:7 Blessed 3107 [are] the x3588 merciful: 1655 for 3754 they 846 shall obtain mercy. 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 be called 2564 z5701 the children 5207 of God. 2316

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

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

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

 5:13 ¶ Ye 5210 are 2075 z5748 the x3588 salt 217 of the x3588 earth: 1093 but 1161 if 1437 the x3588 salt 217 have lost his savour, 3471 z5686 wherewith 1722 5101 shall it be 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 trodden under foot 2662 z5745 of 5259 men. 444

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

 5:15 Neither 3761 do men light 2545 z5719 a candle, 3088 and 2532 put 5087 z5719 it 846 under 5259 a bushel, 3426 but 235 on 1909 a candlestick; 3087 and 2532 it giveth light 2989 z5719 unto 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 works, 2041 and 2532 glorify 1392 z5661 your 5216 Father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heaven. 3772

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

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

 5:19 Whosoever 3739 1437 therefore 3767 shall break 3089 z5661 one 3391 of these 5130 least 1646 commandments, 1785 and 2532 shall teach 1321 z5661 men 444 so, 3779 he shall be called 2564 z5701 the least 1646 in 1722 the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven: 3772 but 1161 whosoever 3739 302 shall do 4160 z5661 and 2532 teach 1321 z5661 [them], the same 3778 shall be called 2564 z5701 great 3173 in 1722 the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven. 3772

 5:20 For 1063 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That 3754 except 3362 your 5216 righteousness 1343 shall exceed 4052 4119 z5661 [the righteousness] of the x3588 scribes 1122 and 2532 Pharisees, 5330 ye shall in no case 3364 enter 1525 z5632 into 1519 the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven. 3772

 5:21 ¶ Ye have heard 191 z5656 that 3754 it was said 4483 z5681 by them of old time, 744 Thou shalt y5407 z0 not 3756 kill; 5407 z5692 and 1161 whosoever 3739 302 shall kill 5407 z5661 shall be 2071 z5704 in danger 1777 of the x3588 judgment: 2920

 5:22 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That 3754 whosoever 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 judgment: 2920 and 1161 whosoever 3739 302 shall say 2036 z5632 to his y846 x848 brother, 80 Raca, 4469 shall be 2071 z5704 in danger 1777 of the x3588 council: 4892 but 1161 whosoever 3739 302 shall say, 2036 z5632 Thou fool, 3474 shall be 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 rememberest 3415 z5686 that 3754 thy 4675 brother 80 hath 2192 z5719 ought 5100 against 2596 thee; 4675

 5:24 Leave 863 z5628 there 1563 thy 4675 gift 1435 before 1715 the x3588 altar, 2379 and 2532 go 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 adversary 476 quickly, 5035 whiles 2193 y3755 thou x3757 art 1488 z5748 in 1722 the x3588 way 3598 with 3326 him; 846 lest at any time 3379 the x3588 adversary 476 deliver 3860 z5632 thee 4571 to the x3588 judge, 2923 and 2532 the x3588 judge 2923 deliver 3860 z5632 thee 4571 to the x3588 officer, 5257 and 2532 thou be cast 906 z5701 into 1519 prison. 5438

 5:26 Verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto thee, 4671 Thou shalt y1831 z0 by no means 3364 come y1831 z5632 out x1831 thence, 1564 till 2193 302 thou hast paid 591 z5632 the x3588 uttermost 2078 farthing. 2835

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

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

 5:29 And 1161 if 1487 thy 4675 right 1188 eye 3788 offend 4624 z5719 thee, 4571 pluck 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 been said, 4483 z5681 y3754 Whosoever 3739 302 shall put away 630 z5661 his y846 x848 wife, 1135 let him give 1325 z5628 her 846 a writing of divorcement: 647

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

 5:33 ¶ Again, 3825 ye have heard 191 z5656 that 3754 it hath been said 4483 z5681 by them of old time, 744 Thou shalt y1964 z0 not 3756 forswear x1964 thyself, y1964 z5692 but 1161 shalt perform 591 z5692 unto the x3588 Lord 2962 thine 4675 oaths: 3727

 5:34 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 Swear 3660 z5658 not 3361 at all; 3654 neither 3383 by 1722 heaven; 3772 for 3754 it is 2076 z5748 God's 2316 throne: 2362

 5:35 Nor 3383 by 1722 the x3588 earth; 1093 for 3754 it is 2076 z5748 his 846 footstool: 4228 5286 neither 3383 by 1519 Jerusalem; 2414 for 3754 it is 2076 z5748 the city 4172 of the x3588 great 3173 King. 935

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

 5:37 But 1161 let y2077 z0 your 5216 communication 3056 be, 2077 z5749 Yea, 3483 yea; 3483 Nay, 3756 nay: 3756 for 1161 whatsoever is more 4053 than these 5130 cometh 2076 z5748 of 1537 evil. 4190

 5:38 ¶ Ye have heard 191 z5656 that 3754 it hath been said, 4483 z5681 An eye 3788 for 473 an eye, 3788 and 2532 a tooth 3599 for 473 a tooth: 3599

 5:39 But 1161 I 1473 say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That ye resist 436 z5629 not 3361 evil: 4190 but 235 whosoever 3748 shall smite 4474 z5692 thee 4571 on 1909 thy 4675 right 1188 cheek, 4600 turn 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 coat, 5509 let y863 z0 him 846 have 863 z5628 [thy] cloke 2440 also. 2532

 5:41 And 2532 whosoever 3748 shall compel y29 z0 thee y4571 to go 29 z5692 x4571 a 1520 mile, 3400 go 5217 z5720 with 3326 him 846 twain. 1417

 5:42 Give 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 turn y654 z0 not y3361 thou away. 654 z5652 x3361

 5:43 ¶ Ye have heard 191 z5656 that 3754 it hath been said, 4483 z5681 Thou shalt love 25 z5692 thy 4675 neighbour, 4139 and 2532 hate 3404 z5692 thine 4675 enemy. 2190

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

 5:45 That 3704 ye may be 1096 z5638 the children 5207 of your 5216 Father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heaven: 3772 for 3754 he maketh y393 z0 his y846 x848 sun 2246 to rise 393 z5719 on 1909 the evil 4190 and 2532 on the good, 18 and 2532 sendeth rain 1026 z5719 on 1909 the just 1342 and 2532 on the unjust. 94

 5:46 For 1063 if 1437 ye love 25 z5661 them which y3588 love 25 z5723 you, 5209 what 5101 reward 3408 have x2192 ye? y2192 z5719 do 4160 z5719 not 3780 even 2532 the x3588 publicans 5057 the x3588 same? 846

 5:47 And 2532 if 1437 ye salute 782 z5667 your 5216 brethren 80 only, 3440 what 5101 do 4160 z5719 ye more 4053 [than others]? do 4160 z5719 not 3780 even 2532 the x3588 publicans 5057 so? 3779

 5:48 Be 2071 z5704 ye 5210 therefore 3767 perfect, 5046 even y5618 as x5618 your 5216 Father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heaven 3772 is 2076 z5748 perfect. 5046
