 MATTHEW 5-7 (King James Bible Clarified New Testament) 

 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he  was set, his disciples came unto him: 

 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,   

 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of  heaven. 

 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.   

 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.   

 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:  for they shall be filled. 

 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.   

 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.   

 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children  of God. 

 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:  for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

 5:11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,  and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.   

 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in  heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.   

 5:13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savour, with what shall it be salted? it is thereafter good for  nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.   

 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill  cannot be hid. 

 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on  a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house.   

 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good  works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 

 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I  am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 

 5:18 For truthfully I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one  jot or one small mark shall in no way pass from the law, till all be  fulfilled. 

 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,  and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of  heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be  called great in the kingdom of heaven. 

 5:20 For I say unto you, That unless your righteousness shall exceed  the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case  enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

 5:21 You have heard that it was said of them of old time, You shall  not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:   

 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother  without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever  shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but  whosoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.   

 5:23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember  that your brother has anything against you; 

 5:24 Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be  reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.   

 5:25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with  him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the  judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.   

 5:26 Truthfully I say unto you, You shall by no means come out from  there, till you have paid the last copper coin. 

 5:27 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall  not commit adultery: 

 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.   

 5:29 And if your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from  you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should  perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.   

 5:30 And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast it from  you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should  perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.   

 5:31 It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give  her a writing of divorcement: 

 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,  except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery:  and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.   

 5:33 Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time,  You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform unto the Lord your  oaths: 

 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it  is God's throne: 

 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem;  for it is the city of the great King. 

 5:36 Neither shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one  hair white or black. 

 5:37 But let your communication be, Yes, yes; No, no: for whatsoever  is more than these comes of evil. 

 5:38 You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a  tooth for a tooth: 

 5:39 But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall  smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.   

 5:40 And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat,  let him have your cloak also. 

 5:41 And whosoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two.   

 5:42 Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you  turn you not away. 

 5:43 You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your  neighbor, and hate your enemy. 

 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,  do good to them that hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use  you, and persecute you;

 5:45 That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:  for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends  rain on the just and on the unjust. 

 5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? do not  even the publicans the same? 

 5:47 And if you salute your brothers only, what do you more than  others? do not even the publicans so? 

 5:48 Be you therefore perfect, just as your Father which is in heaven  is perfect. 

 6:1 Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of  them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.   

 6:2 Therefore when you are doing your alms, do not sound a trumpet  before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets,  that they may have glory of men. Truthfully I say unto you, They have  their reward. 

 6:3 But when you are doing alms, let not your left hand know what your  right hand does: 

 6:4 That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in  secret himself shall reward you openly. 

 6:5 And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for  they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the  streets, that they may be seen of men. Truthfully I say unto you, They  have their reward. 

 6:6 But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have  shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your  Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly. 

 6:7 But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:  for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.   

 6:8 Be not you therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what  things you have need of, before you ask him. 

 6:9 After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in  heaven, Hallowed be your name. 

 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in  heaven. 

 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. 

 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.  

6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For  yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.   

 6:14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father  will also forgive you: 

 6:15 But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your  Father forgive your trespasses. 

 6:16 Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad  countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto  men to fast. Truthfully I say unto you, They have their reward.   

 6:17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;   

 6:18 That you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father which  is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you  openly. 

 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and  rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:   

 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth  nor rust corrupts, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:   

 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.   

 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be sound,  your whole body shall be full of light. 

 6:23 But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of  darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great  is that darkness! 

 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,  and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the  other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 

 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you  shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you  shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than  clothing? 

 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they  reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are  you not much better than they? 

 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his  stature? 

 6:28 And why take you thought for clothing? Consider the lilies of the  field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:   

 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was  not arrayed like one of these. 

 6:30 Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today  exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more  clothe you, O you of little faith? 

 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What  shall we drink? or, How shall we be clothed? 

 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your  heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.   

 6:33 But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and  all these things shall be added unto you. 

 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the next day: for the next day  shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day  is the evil thereof. 

 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged. 

 7:2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with  what measure you mete out, it shall be measured back to you again.   

 7:3 And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother's eye, but  consider not the beam that is in your own eye? 

 7:4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the speck out  of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? 

 7:5 You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and  then shall you see clearly to cast out the speck out of your brother's  eye. 

 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your  pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn  again and tear you. 

 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock,  and it shall be opened unto you: 

 7:8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to  him that knocks it shall be opened. 

 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he  give him a stone? 

 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 

 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your  children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good  things to them that ask him?  

 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to  you, do even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.   

 7:13 Enter you in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad  is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in  there: 

 7:14 Because narrow is the gate, and constricted is the way, which  leads unto life, and few there be that find it. 

 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,  but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 

 7:16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of  thorns, or figs of thistles? 

 7:17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt  tree brings forth evil fruit. 

 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt  tree bring forth good fruit. 

 7:19 Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and  cast into the fire. 

 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. 

 7:21 Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the  kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in  heaven. 

 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not  prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in  your name done many wonderful works? 

 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from  me, you that work iniquity. 

 7:24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I  will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:   

 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,  and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a  rock. 

 7:26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them  not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon  the sand: 

 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,  and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.  

 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the  people were astonished at his doctrine: 

 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the  scribes.
