The crowds who came to hear Jesus were very great. So that everyone could see and hear him， he went a little way up the  mountainside.

 

This is what he said:

Blessed are the gentle for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are the merciful， for they shall be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart,  for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers,  for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are those who are humble，those who are just,  those who try to do right,  those who suffer persecution - all of them will be rewarded in the kingdom of Heaven.

 

Do not keep your good qualities hidden， but let them shine out like a candle lighting up a dark house. When a lamp is

lit; it is not put under a bowl, but placed where it can brighten the whole room.

 

I am not here to destroy the law,  or contradict the words of the prophets. I am here to up hold them,  for it is essential that the law be obeyed.

 

You have heard it said， you shall not kill. But those who keep  murderous thoughts in their minds are also to blame. You must be able to forgive whoever has made you angry.

 

The old law speaks of an eye for an eye， and a tooth for a tooth， but if someone strikes you on the right cheek， it is better to turn the left cheek so that he may strike that， too.

 

It is easy to love your friends， but it is as important to love your enemies also， and be kind to those who turn against you. You should never boast of your good deeds， but do them secretly. You can not value both God and money.

When you pray,  do not do so in the open where everyone can see,  but alone in your room. Talk directly to God,  and say what is in your heart .

Pray using these words: “Our Lord who is in Heaven， holy is  your name. Your kingdom is coming. We will obey you on Earth as you are obeyed in Heaven. Give us our daily food. Forgive us our sins， as we forgive the sins of others. Do not lead us into temptation， but save us from evil."

 

Do not worry about what you wear or what you eat and drink. The birds in the air do not sow wheat or store it in barns， and yet the heavenly Lord feeds them; the lilies of the field do not spin or weave， and yet not even Solomon in all his glory was as magnificent as one of these.

 

Do not condemn: as you judge others， so will you yourself be judged. Before you criticize the speck of sawdust in another’s eye， first remove the plank of wood in your own.

 

Ask， and it will be given to you; search， and you will find.  A void false prophets; beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

 

Anyone who hears my words and follows them is like the wise one who builds a house upon rock. When the rain coms， and the wind blows， and the flood waters rise， the house will stand firm. But anyone who hears my words and ignores them is like the foolish one who builds a house upon sand.

 

When the storm comes and the waters rise， the house will fall， because the foundations are built only on shifting sand.
