Matthew

山上寶訓

1耶穌看見這許多的人，就上了山，既已坐下，門徒到他跟前來，

2他就開口教訓他們，說：

論福

3虛心的人有福了！ 因為天國是他們的。

4哀慟的人有福了！ 因為他們必得安慰。

5溫柔的人有福了！ 因為他們必承受地土。

6飢渴慕義的人有福了！ 因為他們必得飽足。

7憐恤人的人有福了！ 因為他們必蒙憐恤。

8清心的人有福了！ 因為他們必得見上帝。

9使人和睦的人有福了！ 因為他們必稱為上帝的兒子。

10為義受逼迫的人有福了！ 因為天國是他們的。

11「人若因我辱罵你們，逼迫你們，捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們，你們就有福了！

12應當歡喜快樂，因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的。在你們以前的先知，人也是這樣逼迫他們。」

鹽和光

13「你們是世上的鹽。鹽若失了味，怎能叫它再鹹呢？以後無用，不過丟在外面，被人踐踏了。

14你們是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隱藏的。

15人點燈，不放在斗底下，是放在燈臺上，就照亮一家的人。

16你們的光也當這樣照在人前，叫他們看見你們的好行為，便將榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。」

論律法

17「莫想我來要廢掉律法和先知。我來不是要廢掉，乃是要成全。

18我實在告訴你們，就是到天地都廢去了，律法的一點一畫也不能廢去，都要成全。

19所以，無論何人廢掉這誡命中最小的一條，又教訓人這樣做，他在天國要稱為最小的。但無論何人遵行這誡命，又教訓人遵行，他在天國要稱為大的。

20我告訴你們，你們的義若不勝於文士和法利賽人的義，斷不能進天國。」

論發怒

21「你們聽見有吩咐古人的話，說：『不可殺人』；又說：『凡殺人的難免受審判。』

22只是我告訴你們，凡向弟兄動怒的，難免受審判；凡罵弟兄是拉加的，難免公會的審判；凡罵弟兄是魔利的，難免地獄的火。

23所以，你在祭壇上獻禮物的時候，若想起弟兄向你懷怨，

24就把禮物留在壇前，先去同弟兄和好，然後來獻禮物。

25你同告你的對頭還在路上，就趕緊與他和息，恐怕他把你送給審判官，審判官交付衙役，你就下在監裏了。

26我實在告訴你，若有一文錢沒有還清，你斷不能從那裏出來。」

論姦淫

27「你們聽見有話說：『不可姦淫。』

28只是我告訴你們，凡看見婦女就動淫念的，這人心裏已經與她犯姦淫了。

29若是你的右眼叫你跌倒，就剜出來丟掉，寧可失去百體中的一體，不叫全身丟在地獄裏。

30若是右手叫你跌倒，就砍下來丟掉，寧可失去百體中的一體，不叫全身下入地獄。」

論休妻

31「又有話說：『人若休妻，就當給她休書。』

32只是我告訴你們，凡休妻的，若不是為淫亂的緣故，就是叫她作淫婦了；人若娶這被休的婦人，也是犯姦淫了。」

論起誓

33「你們又聽見有吩咐古人的話，說：『不可背誓，所起的誓總要向主謹守。』

34只是我告訴你們，甚麼誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因為天是上帝的座位；

35不可指着地起誓，因為地是他的腳凳；也不可指着耶路撒冷起誓，因為耶路撒冷是大君的京城；

36又不可指着你的頭起誓，因為你不能使一根頭髮變黑變白了。

37你們的話，是，就說是；不是，就說不是；若再多說就是出於那惡者。」

論報復

38「你們聽見有話說：『以眼還眼，以牙還牙。』

39只是我告訴你們，不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，連左臉也轉過來由他打；

40有人想要告你，要拿你的裏衣，連外衣也由他拿去；

41有人強逼你走一里路，你就同他走二里；

42有求你的，就給他；有向你借貸的，不可推辭。」

論愛仇敵

43「你們聽見有話說：『當愛你的鄰舍，恨你的仇敵。』

44只是我告訴你們，要愛你們的仇敵，為那逼迫你們的禱告。

45這樣就可以作你們天父的兒子；因為他叫日頭照好人，也照歹人；降雨給義人，也給不義的人。

46你們若單愛那愛你們的人，有甚麼賞賜呢？就是稅吏不也是這樣行嗎？

47你們若單請你弟兄的安，比人有甚麼長處呢？就是外邦人不也是這樣行嗎？

48所以，你們要完全，像你們的天父完全一樣。」

The Sermon on the Mount

1When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2and He began to teach them, saying:

The Beatitudes

3“Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are those who mourn,for they will be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the earth.

6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.

8Blessed are the pure in heart,for they will see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called sons of God.

10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

Salt and Light

13You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

14You are the light of the world. A city on a hillcannot be hidden.

15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law

17Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.

18For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

19So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Anger and Reconciliation

21You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brotherwill be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’will be subject to the Sanhedrin.But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell.

23So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

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

25Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

26Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

Adultery

27You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body 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 part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.

Divorce

31It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her.And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Oaths and Vows

33Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

Love Your Enemies

38You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41and if someone forces you to go one mile,go with him two miles.

42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
