Matthew 5:1-16

Matthew 5:1-16

[1] And  the multitudes,  he went up  into  a mountain:  and  when he  was set,  his  disciples  came  unto him:  [2] And  he opened  his  mouth,  and taught  them,  saying,  [3] Blessed  are the poor  in spirit:  for  theirs  the kingdom  of heaven.  [4] Blessed  are they that mourn:  for  they  shall be comforted.  [5] Blessed  are the meek:  for  they  shall inherit  the earth.  [6] Blessed  are they which  do hunger  and  thirst  after righteousness:  for  they  shall be filled.  [7] Blessed  are the merciful:  for  they  shall obtain mercy.  [8] Blessed  are the pure  in heart:  for  they  God.  [9] Blessed  are the peacemakers:  for  they  shall be called  the children  of God.  [10] Blessed  are they which are persecuted  for  righteousness' sake:  for  theirs  the kingdom  of heaven.  [11] Blessed  when  men shall revile  and  persecute  you, and  shall say  all manner  of evil  against  falsely,  for my sake.  [12] Rejoice,  and  be exceeding glad:  for  great  reward  in  heaven:  for  so  persecuted they  the prophets  which  were before  [13] the salt  of the earth:  but  if  the salt  have lost his savour,  wherewith  shall it be salted?  it is thenceforth  good  for  nothing,  to be cast  out,  to be trodden under foot  of  men.  [14] 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] light  so  shine  before  men,  that  good  works,  and  glorify  Father  which  is in  heaven.
