1 saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2And he began to speak and taught them, saying:
3 on my account.
12 not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.
19 one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Concerning Anger21 you will be liable to judgment, and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council, and if you say, ‘You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell of fire.
23 with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison.
26Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.
Concerning Adultery27 tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell.Concerning Divorce
31 Concerning Retaliation
38 Ex 21.24; Lev 24.20; Deut 19.21 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
39Prov 24.29; Lk 6.29; Rom 12.17, 19; 1 Cor 6.7; 1 Pet 3.9But I say to you: Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also,
40and if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, give your coat as well,
41and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile.
42Deut 15.8; Lk 6.30Give to the one who asks of you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.
Love for Enemies43 Lev 19.18; Deut 23.6; Ps 41.10 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44Acts 7.60; Rom 12.14; 1 Cor 4.12; 1 Pet 2.23But I say to you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45Job 25.3so that you may be children of your Father in heaven, for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the gentiles do the same?
48Lev 19.2; Col 1.28; Jas 1.4Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
