WEB·Matthew 6

¹“Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

KJVTake heed^G4337^(G5720) that ye do^G4160^(G5721) not^G3361 your^G5216 alms^G1654 before^G1715 men^G444, to be seen^G4314^G2300^(G5683) of them^G846: otherwise^G1490 ye have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 reward^G3408 of^G3844 your^G5216 Father^G3962 which^G3588 is in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

² Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

KJVTherefore^G3767 when^G3752 thou doest^G4160^(G5725) thine alms^G1654, do^G4537 not^G3361 sound a trumpet^G4537^(G5661) before^G1715 thee^G4675, as^G5618 the hypocrites^G5273 do^G4160^(G5719) in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864 and^G2532 in^G1722 the streets^G4505, that^G3704 they may have glory^G1392^(G5686) of^G5259 men^G444. Verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, They have^G568^(G5719) their^G846 reward^G3408.

³ But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,

KJVBut^G1161 when thou^G4675 doest^G4160^(G5723) alms^G1654, let^G1097 not^G3361 thy^G4675 left hand^G710 know^G1097^(G5628) what^G5101 thy^G4675 right hand^G1188 doeth^G4160^(G5719):

⁴ so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

KJVThat^G3704 thine^G4675 alms^G1654 may be^G5600^(G5753) in^G1722 secret^G2927: and^G2532 thy^G4675 Father^G3962 which^G3588 seeth^G991^(G5723) in^G1722 secret^G2927 himself^G846 shall reward^G591^(G5692) thee^G4671 openly^G1722^G5318.

⁵ “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3752 thou prayest^G4336^(G5741), thou shalt^G2071 not^G3756 be^G2071^(G5704) as^G5618 the hypocrites^G5273 are: for^G3754 they love^G5368^(G5719) to pray^G4336^(G5738) standing^G2476^(G5761) in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864 and^G2532 in^G1722 the corners^G1137 of the streets^G4113, that^G3704 they may^G302 be seen^G5316^(G5652) of men^G444. Verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213,^G3754 They have^G568^(G5719) their^G846 reward^G3408.

⁶ But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

KJVBut^G1161 thou^G4771, when^G3752 thou prayest^G4336^(G5741), enter^G1525^(G5628) into^G1519 thy^G4675 closet^G5009, and^G2532 when thou hast shut^G2808^(G5660) thy^G4675 door^G2374, pray^G4336^(G5663) to thy^G4675 Father^G3962 which^G3588 is in^G1722 secret^G2927; and^G2532 thy^G4675 Father^G3962 which^G3588 seeth^G991^(G5723) in^G1722 secret^G2927 shall reward^G591^(G5692) thee^G4671 openly^G1722^G5318.

⁷ In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

KJVBut^G1161 when ye pray^G4336^(G5740), use^G945 not^G3361 vain repetitions^G945^(G5661), as^G5618 the heathen^G1482 do: for^G1063 they think^G1380^(G5719) that^G3754 they shall be heard^G1522^(G5701) for^G1722 their^G846 much speaking^G4180.

⁸ Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.

KJVBe^G3666 not^G3361 ye^G3666 therefore^G3767 like^G3666^(G5686) unto them^G846: for^G1063 your^G5216 Father^G3962 knoweth^G1492^(G5758) what things^G3739 ye have^G2192^(G5719) need of^G5532, before^G4253 ye^G5209 ask^G154^(G5658) him^G846.

⁹ Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

KJVAfter this manner^G3779 therefore^G3767 pray^G4336^(G5737) ye^G5210: Our^G2257 Father^G3962 which^G3588 art in^G1722 heaven^G3772, Hallowed be^G37^(G5682) thy^G4675 name^G3686.

¹⁰ Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

KJVThy^G4675 kingdom^G932 come^G2064^(G5628). Thy^G4675 will^G2307 be done^G1096^(G5676) in^G1909 earth^G1093, as^G2532^G5613 it is in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.

KJVGive^G1325^(G5628) us^G2254 this day^G4594 our^G2257 daily^G1967 bread^G740.

¹² Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

KJVAnd^G2532 forgive^G863^(G5628) us^G2254 our^G2257 debts^G3783, as^G2532^G5613 we^G2249 forgive^G863^(G5719) our^G2257 debtors^G3781.

¹³ Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’

KJVAnd^G2532 lead^G1533^(G5661) us^G2248 not^G3361 into^G1519 temptation^G3986, but^G235 deliver^G4506^(G5663) us^G2248 from^G575 evil^G4190: For^G3754 thine^G4675 is^G2076^(G5748) the kingdom^G932, and^G2532 the power^G1411, and^G2532 the glory^G1391, for^G1519 ever^G165. Amen^G281.

¹⁴ “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1437 ye forgive^G863^(G5632) men^G444 their^G846 trespasses^G3900, your^G5216 heavenly^G3770 Father^G3962 will also^G2532 forgive^G863^(G5692) you^G5213:

¹⁵ But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G3362 ye forgive^G863^(G5632) not^G3362 men^G444 their^G846 trespasses^G3900, neither^G3761 will your^G5216 Father^G3962 forgive^G863^(G5692) your^G5216 trespasses^G3900.

¹⁶ “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

KJVMoreover^G1161 when^G3752 ye fast^G3522^(G5725), be^G1096^(G5737) not^G3361, as^G5618 the hypocrites^G5273, of a sad countenance^G4659: for^G1063 they disfigure^G853^(G5719) their^G846 faces^G4383, that^G3704 they may appear^G5316^(G5652) unto men^G444 to fast^G3522^(G5723). Verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213,^G3754 They have^G568^(G5719) their^G846 reward^G3408.

¹⁷ But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

KJVBut^G1161 thou^G4771, when thou fastest^G3522^(G5723), anoint^G218^(G5669) thine^G4675 head^G2776, and^G2532 wash^G3538^(G5669) thy^G4675 face^G4383;

¹⁸ so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

KJVThat^G3704 thou appear^G5316^(G5652) not^G3361 unto men^G444 to fast^G3522^(G5723), but^G235 unto thy^G4675 Father^G3962 which^G3588 is in^G1722 secret^G2927: and^G2532 thy^G4675 Father^G3962, which^G3588 seeth^G991^(G5723) in^G1722 secret^G2927, shall reward^G591^(G5692) thee^G4671 openly^G1722^G5318.

¹⁹ “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

KJVLay^G2343 not^G3361 up^G2343^(G5720) for yourselves^G5213 treasures^G2344 upon^G1909 earth^G1093, where^G3699 moth^G4597 and^G2532 rust^G1035 doth corrupt^G853^(G5719), and^G2532 where^G3699 thieves^G2812 break through^G1358^(G5719) and^G2532 steal^G2813^(G5719):

²⁰ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

KJVBut^G1161 lay up^G2343^(G5720) for yourselves^G5213 treasures^G2344 in^G1722 heaven^G3772, where^G3699 neither^G3777 moth^G4597 nor^G3777 rust^G1035 doth corrupt^G853^(G5719), and^G2532 where^G3699 thieves^G2812 do^G1358 not^G3756 break through^G1358^(G5719) nor^G3761 steal^G2813^(G5719):

²¹ for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

KJVFor^G1063 where^G3699 your^G5216 treasure^G2344 is^G2076^(G5748), there^G1563 will^G2071 your^G5216 heart^G2588 be^G2071^(G5704) also^G2532.

²² “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

KJVThe light^G3088 of the body^G4983 is^G2076^(G5748) the eye^G3788: if^G1437 therefore^G3767 thine^G4675 eye^G3788 be^G5600^(G5753) single^G573, thy^G4675 whole^G3650 body^G4983 shall be^G2071^(G5704) full of light^G5460.

²³ But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1437 thine^G4675 eye^G3788 be^G5600^(G5753) evil^G4190, thy^G4675 whole^G3650 body^G4983 shall be^G2071^(G5704) full of darkness^G4652. If^G1487 therefore^G3767 the light^G5457 that is^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 thee^G4671 be darkness^G4655, how great^G4214 is that darkness^G4655!

²⁴ “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

KJVNo man^G3762 can^G1410^(G5736) serve^G1398^(G5721) two^G1417 masters^G2962: for^G1063 either^G2228 he will hate^G3404^(G5692) the one^G1520, and^G2532 love^G25^(G5692) the other^G2087; or else^G2228 he will hold^G472^(G5695) to the one^G1520, and^G2532 despise^G2706^(G5692) the other^G2087. Ye cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) serve^G1398^(G5721) God^G2316 and^G2532 mammon^G3126.

²⁵ Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Take no^G3361 thought^G3309^(G5720) for your^G5216 life^G5590, what^G5101 ye shall eat^G5315^(G5632), or^G2532 what^G5101 ye shall drink^G4095^(G5632); nor yet for^G3366 your^G5216 body^G4983, what^G5101 ye shall put on^G1746^(G5672). Is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3780 the life^G5590 more than^G4119 meat^G5160, and^G2532 the body^G4983 than raiment^G1742?

²⁶ See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?

KJVBehold^G1689^(G5657)^G1519 the fowls^G4071 of the air^G3772: for^G3754 they sow^G4687^(G5719) not^G3756, neither^G3761 do they reap^G2325^(G5719), nor^G3761 gather^G4863^(G5719) into^G1519 barns^G596; yet^G2532 your^G5216 heavenly^G3770 Father^G3962 feedeth^G5142^(G5719) them^G846. Are^G1308 ye^G5210 not^G3756 much^G3123 better than^G1308^(G5719) they^G846?

²⁷ “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?

KJV^G1161 Which^G1537^G5101 of you^G5216 by taking thought^G3309^(G5723) can^G1410^(G5736) add^G4369^(G5629) one^G1520 cubit^G4083 unto^G1909 his^G846 stature^G2244?

²⁸ Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,

KJVAnd^G2532 why^G5101 take ye thought^G3309^(G5720) for^G4012 raiment^G1742? Consider^G2648^(G5628) the lilies^G2918 of the field^G68, how^G4459 they grow^G837^(G5719); they toil^G2872^(G5719) not^G3756, neither^G3761 do they spin^G3514^(G5719):

²⁹ yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.

KJVAnd yet^G1161 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 even^G3761 Solomon^G4672 in^G1722 all^G3956 his^G846 glory^G1391 was^G4016 not^G3761 arrayed^G4016^(G5639) like^G5613 one^G1520 of these^G5130.

³⁰ But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

KJVWherefore^G1161, if^G1487 God^G2316 so^G3779 clothe^G294^(G5719) the grass^G5528 of the field^G68, which to day^G4594 is^G5607^(G5752), and^G2532 to morrow^G839 is cast^G906^(G5746) into^G1519 the oven^G2823, shall he not^G3756 much^G4183 more^G3123 clothe you^G5209, O ye of little faith^G3640?

³¹ “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’

KJVTherefore^G3767 take no^G3361 thought^G3309^(G5661), saying^G3004^(G5723), What^G5101 shall we eat^G5315^(G5632)? or^G2228, What^G5101 shall we drink^G4095^(G5632)? or^G2228, Wherewithal^G5101 shall we be clothed^G4016^(G5643)?

³² For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

KJV(For^G1063 after^G1934 all^G3956 these things^G5023 do the Gentiles^G1484 seek^G1934^(G5719):) for^G1063 your^G5216 heavenly^G3770 Father^G3962 knoweth^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 ye have need^G5535^(G5719) of all^G537 these things^G5130.

³³ But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

KJVBut^G1161 seek ye^G2212^(G5720) first^G4412 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, and^G2532 his^G846 righteousness^G1343; and^G2532 all^G3956 these things^G5023 shall be added^G4369^(G5701) unto you^G5213.

³⁴ Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.

KJVTake^G3309 therefore^G3767 no^G3361 thought^G3309^(G5661) for^G1519 the morrow^G839: for^G1063 the morrow^G839 shall take thought^G3309^(G5692) for the things^G3588 of itself^G1438. Sufficient^G713 unto the day^G2250 is the evil^G2549 thereof^G846.

KJVAnd^G1161 seeing^G1492^(G5631) the multitudes^G3793, he went up^G305^(G5627) into^G1519 a mountain^G3735: and^G2532 when he^G846 was set^G2523^(G5660), his^G846 disciples^G3101 came^G4334^(G5656) unto him^G846:

KJVYe^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) the light^G5457 of the world^G2889. A city^G4172 that is set^G2749^(G5740) on^G1883 an hill^G3735 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) be hid^G2928^(G5650).

¹⁵ Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.

KJVNeither^G3761 do men light^G2545^(G5719) a candle^G3088, and^G2532 put^G5087^(G5719) it^G846 under^G5259 a bushel^G3426, but^G235 on^G1909 a candlestick^G3087; and^G2532 it giveth light^G2989^(G5719) unto all^G3956 that are in^G1722 the house^G3614.

¹⁶ Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

KJVLet your^G5216 light^G5457 so^G3779 shine^G2989^(G5657) before^G1715 men^G444, that^G3704 they may see^G1492^(G5632) your^G5216 good^G2570 works^G2041, and^G2532 glorify^G1392^(G5661) your^G5216 Father^G3962 which^G3588 is in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

¹⁷ “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.

KJVThink^G3543^(G5661) not^G3361 that^G3754 I am come^G2064^(G5627) to destroy^G2647^(G5658) the law^G3551, or^G2228 the prophets^G4396: I am^G2064 not^G3756 come^G2064^(G5627) to destroy^G2647^(G5658), but^G235 to fulfil^G4137^(G5658).

¹⁸ For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.

KJVFor^G1063 verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Till^G2193^G302 heaven^G3772 and^G2532 earth^G1093 pass^G3928^(G5632), one^G1520 jot^G2503 or^G2228 one^G3391 tittle^G2762 shall in no wise^G3364 pass^G3928^(G5632) from^G575 the law^G3551, till^G2193^G302 all^G3956 be fulfilled^G1096^(G5638).

¹⁹ Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

KJVWhosoever^G3739^G1437 therefore^G3767 shall break^G3089^(G5661) one^G3391 of these^G5130 least^G1646 commandments^G1785, and^G2532 shall teach^G1321^(G5661) men^G444 so^G3779, he shall be called^G2564^(G5701) the least^G1646 in^G1722 the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772: but^G1161 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall do^G4160^(G5661) and^G2532 teach^G1321^(G5661) them, the same^G3778 shall be called^G2564^(G5701) great^G3173 in^G1722 the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772.

²⁰ For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

KJVFor^G1063 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 except^G3362 your^G5216 righteousness^G1343 shall exceed^G4052^(G5661)^G4119 the righteousness of the scribes^G1122 and^G2532 Pharisees^G5330, ye shall in no case^G3364 enter^G1525^(G5632) into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772.

²¹ “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’

KJVYe have heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 it was said^G4483^(G5681) by them of old time^G744, Thou shalt^G5407 not^G3756 kill^G5407^(G5692); and^G1161 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall kill^G5407^(G5661) shall be^G2071^(G5704) in danger^G1777 of the judgment^G2920:

²² But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

KJVBut^G1161 I^G1473 say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 whosoever^G3956 is angry^G3710^(G5746) with his^G846 brother^G80 without a cause^G1500 shall be^G2071^(G5704) in danger^G1777 of the judgment^G2920: and^G1161 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall say^G2036^(G5632) to his^G846 brother^G80, Raca^G4469, shall be^G2071^(G5704) in danger^G1777 of the council^G4892: but^G1161 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall say^G2036^(G5632), Thou fool^G3474, shall be^G2071^(G5704) in danger^G1777 of^G1519 hell^G1067 fire^G4442.

²³ “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,

KJVTherefore^G3767 if^G1437 thou bring^G4374^(G5725) thy^G4675 gift^G1435 to^G1909 the altar^G2379, and there^G2546 rememberest^G3415^(G5686) that^G3754 thy^G4675 brother^G80 hath^G2192^(G5719) ought^G5100 against^G2596 thee^G4675;

²⁴ leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

KJVLeave^G863^(G5628) there^G1563 thy^G4675 gift^G1435 before^G1715 the altar^G2379, and^G2532 go thy way^G5217^(G5720); first^G4412 be reconciled^G1259^(G5649) to thy^G4675 brother^G80, and^G2532 then^G5119 come^G2064^(G5631) and offer^G4374^(G5720) thy^G4675 gift^G1435.

²⁵ Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

KJVAgree^G2468^(G5749)^G2132^(G5723) with thine^G4675 adversary^G476 quickly^G5035, whiles^G2193^G3755 thou art^G1488^(G5748) in^G1722 the way^G3598 with^G3326 him^G846; lest at any time^G3379 the adversary^G476 deliver^G3860^(G5632) thee^G4571 to the judge^G2923, and^G2532 the judge^G2923 deliver^G3860^(G5632) thee^G4571 to the officer^G5257, and^G2532 thou be cast^G906^(G5701) into^G1519 prison^G5438.

²⁶ Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.

KJVVerily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto thee^G4671, Thou shalt^G1831 by no means^G3364 come^G1831^(G5632) out thence^G1564, till^G2193^G302 thou hast paid^G591^(G5632) the uttermost^G2078 farthing^G2835.

²⁷ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’

KJVYe have heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 it was said^G4483^(G5681) by them of old time^G744, Thou shalt^G3431 not^G3756 commit adultery^G3431^(G5692):

²⁸ but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

KJVBut^G1161 I^G1473 say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 whosoever^G3956 looketh^G991^(G5723) on a woman^G1135 to^G4314 lust after^G1937^(G5658) her^G846 hath committed adultery^G3431^(G5656) with her^G846 already^G2235 in^G1722 his^G846 heart^G2588.

²⁹ If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

KJVAnd^G1161 if^G1487 thy^G4675 right^G1188 eye^G3788 offend^G4624^(G5719) thee^G4571, pluck^G1807 it^G846 out^G1807^(G5628), and^G2532 cast^G906^(G5628) it from^G575 thee^G4675: for^G1063 it is profitable^G4851^(G5719) for thee^G4671 that^G2443 one^G1520 of thy^G4675 members^G3196 should perish^G622^(G5643), and^G2532 not^G3361 that thy^G4675 whole^G3650 body^G4983 should be cast^G906^(G5686) into^G1519 hell^G1067.

³⁰ If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1487 thy^G4675 right^G1188 hand^G5495 offend^G4624^(G5719) thee^G4571, cut^G1581 it^G846 off^G1581^(G5657), and^G2532 cast^G906^(G5628) it from^G575 thee^G4675: for^G1063 it is profitable^G4851^(G5719) for thee^G4671 that^G2443 one^G1520 of thy^G4675 members^G3196 should perish^G622^(G5643), and^G2532 not^G3361 that thy^G4675 whole^G3650 body^G4983 should be cast^G906^(G5686) into^G1519 hell^G1067.

³¹ “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’

KJV^G1161 It hath been said^G4483^(G5681)^G3754, Whosoever^G3739^G302 shall put away^G630^(G5661) his^G846 wife^G1135, let him give^G1325^(G5628) her^G846 a writing of divorcement^G647:

³² but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

KJVBut^G1161 I^G1473 say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall put away^G630^(G5661) his^G846 wife^G1135, saving^G3924 for the cause^G3056 of fornication^G4202, causeth^G4160^(G5719) her^G846 to commit adultery^G3429^(G5738): and^G2532 whosoever^G3739^G1437 shall marry^G1060^(G5661) her that is divorced^G630^(G5772) committeth adultery^G3429^(G5736).

³³ “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’

KJVAgain^G3825, ye have heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 it hath been said^G4483^(G5681) by them of old time^G744, Thou shalt^G1964 not^G3756 forswear thyself^G1964^(G5692), but^G1161 shalt perform^G591^(G5692) unto the Lord^G2962 thine^G4675 oaths^G3727:

³⁴ but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

KJVBut^G1161 I^G1473 say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Swear^G3660^(G5658) not^G3361 at all^G3654; neither^G3383 by^G1722 heaven^G3772; for^G3754 it is^G2076^(G5748) God's^G2316 throne^G2362:

³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

KJVNor^G3383 by^G1722 the earth^G1093; for^G3754 it is^G2076^(G5748) his^G846 footstool^G4228^G5286: neither^G3383 by^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414; for^G3754 it is^G2076^(G5748) the city^G4172 of the great^G3173 King^G935.

³⁶ Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.

KJVNeither^G3383 shalt thou swear^G3660^(G5661) by^G1722 thy^G4675 head^G2776, because^G3754 thou canst^G1410^(G5736) not^G3756 make^G4160^(G5658) one^G3391 hair^G2359 white^G3022 or^G2228 black^G3189.

³⁷ But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

KJVBut^G1161 let^G2077 your^G5216 communication^G3056 be^G2077^(G5749), Yea^G3483, yea^G3483; Nay^G3756, nay^G3756: for^G1161 whatsoever is more^G4053 than these^G5130 cometh^G2076^(G5748) of^G1537 evil^G4190.

³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

KJVYe have heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 it hath been said^G4483^(G5681), An eye^G3788 for^G473 an eye^G3788, and^G2532 a tooth^G3599 for^G473 a tooth^G3599:

³⁹ But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

KJVBut^G1161 I^G1473 say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That ye resist^G436^(G5629) not^G3361 evil^G4190: but^G235 whosoever^G3748 shall smite^G4474^(G5692) thee^G4571 on^G1909 thy^G4675 right^G1188 cheek^G4600, turn^G4762^(G5657) to him^G846 the other^G243 also^G2532.

⁴⁰ If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.

KJVAnd^G2532 if any man will^G2309^(G5723) sue^G2919 thee^G4671 at the law^G2919^(G5683), and^G2532 take away^G2983^(G5629) thy^G4675 coat^G5509, let^G863 him^G846 have^G863^(G5628) thy cloke^G2440 also^G2532.

⁴¹ Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3748 shall compel^G29 thee^G4571 to go^G29^(G5692) a^G1520 mile^G3400, go^G5217^(G5720) with^G3326 him^G846 twain^G1417.

⁴² Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

KJVGive^G1325^(G5720) to him that asketh^G154^(G5723) thee^G4571, and^G2532 from him that would^G2309^(G5723) borrow^G1155^(G5670) of^G575 thee^G4675 turn^G654 not^G3361 thou away^G654^(G5652).

⁴³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

KJVYe have heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 it hath been said^G4483^(G5681), Thou shalt love^G25^(G5692) thy^G4675 neighbour^G4139, and^G2532 hate^G3404^(G5692) thine^G4675 enemy^G2190.

⁴⁴ But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

KJVBut^G1161 I^G1473 say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Love^G25^(G5720) your^G5216 enemies^G2190, bless^G2127^(G5720) them that curse^G2672^(G5740) you^G5209, do^G4160^(G5720) good^G2573 to them that hate^G3404^(G5723) you^G5209, and^G2532 pray^G4336^(G5737) for^G5228 them which^G3588 despitefully use^G1908^(G5723) you^G5209, and^G2532 persecute^G1377^(G5723) you^G5209;

⁴⁵ that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

KJVThat^G3704 ye may be^G1096^(G5638) the children^G5207 of your^G5216 Father^G3962 which^G3588 is in^G1722 heaven^G3772: for^G3754 he maketh^G393 his^G846 sun^G2246 to rise^G393^(G5719) on^G1909 the evil^G4190 and^G2532 on the good^G18, and^G2532 sendeth rain^G1026^(G5719) on^G1909 the just^G1342 and^G2532 on the unjust^G94.

⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1437 ye love^G25^(G5661) them which^G3588 love^G25^(G5723) you^G5209, what^G5101 reward^G3408 have ye^G2192^(G5719)? do^G4160^(G5719) not^G3780 even^G2532 the publicans^G5057 the same^G846?

⁴⁷ If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 ye salute^G782^(G5667) your^G5216 brethren^G80 only^G3440, what^G5101 do^G4160^(G5719) ye more^G4053 than others? do^G4160^(G5719) not^G3780 even^G2532 the publicans^G5057 so^G3779?

⁴⁸ Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

KJVBe^G2071^(G5704) ye^G5210 therefore^G3767 perfect^G5046, even^G5618 as your^G5216 Father^G3962 which^G3588 is in^G1722 heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) perfect^G5046.
