People don’t light a lamp and put it under a bucket; they put it on a lampstand. Then it gives light to everybody in the house. That’s how you must shine your light in front of people! Then they will see what wonderful things you do, and they’ll give glory to your father in heaven.

“You’re the light of the world! A city can’t be hidden if it’s on top of a hill.

“Blessings on the pure in heart! You will see God.

“Blessings on people who hunger and thirst for God’s justice! You’re going to be satisfied.

But I tell you: love your enemies! Pray for people who persecute you!

“Blessings on the poor in spirit! The kingdom of heaven is yours.

“Blessings on the peacemakers! You’ll be called God’s children.

“Blessings on the mourners! You’re going to be comforted.

“Blessings on people who are persecuted because of God’s saving plan! The kingdom of heaven belongs to you.

“Blessings on the merciful! You’ll receive mercy yourselves.

“Blessings on you, when people slander you and persecute you, and say all kinds of wicked things about you falsely because of me! Celebrate and rejoice: there’s a great reward for you in heaven. That’s how they persecuted the prophets who went before you.”

“Blessings on the meek! You’re going to inherit the earth.

“You’re the salt of the earth! But if the salt becomes tasteless, how is it going to get salty again? It’s no good for anything. You might as well throw it out and walk all over it.

Well then: you must be perfect, just as your heavenly father is perfect.”

When you’re talking, say ‘Yes’ when you mean Yes, and ‘No’ when you mean No. Anything more than that comes from the evil one.”

“You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you: don’t use violence to resist evil! Instead, when someone hits you on the right cheek, turn the other one towards him.

If your right eye trips you up, tear it out and throw it away. Yes: it’s better for you to have one part of your body destroyed than for your whole body to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your right hand trips you up, cut it off and throw it away. Yes: it’s better for you to have one part of your body destroyed than for your whole body to go into Gehenna.
