KJV Matthew 5 KJV Matthew 6 KJV Matthew 7 [The Sermon on the Mount]() Since the Mighty was a hill, the natives hehrster, Sat down especially and foresaw himself as trustee Misty men and admirable twelve, Gar good friends who henceforth disciples remembered all the days of Expensive In his followers to carry with you. He called them by name and her name go closer: Andreas first of all, and Peter, the two brothers, and the two James and John, the God beloved. them he was mild cheer; one man's sons Were both: son who chose God, the pious, in his entourage, and friends much, Illustrious Men: Matthew and Thomas, the two Judah and Jacob a second, He was himself sibling him because of two sisters goods both Christ and Jacob, born as cousins ​​friends. The companions had nine now gekoren the emergency responders Christian, Reliable men. Since he was also the tenth go with his company, Simon was told. too, the Bartholomew he was called up the mountain Coming from the people, and to Philip, the two stalwarts. The twelve went with him, The warriors, to the Assembly, where he sat to rate the amount of mouth Lord, the human race was minded cons of hell to help compulsion from the lake of fire to encourage anyone who wants to follow So lovely teaching when he the people there thought to have through his wisdom. The Beseliger Christ came first as to stand the fellows who chosen by himself goods, the Walt ends. The wise men surrounded the Son of God: their desire was great, The chosen ones desire to hear his words. They were silent and listened for what the Lord of the nations, The Walt wanted to end, in words proclaim the people's sake. Since the landing shirt sat the good against God's own son, Will, in his speech,some meaningful word, teach the people how they praise God should act in this world empires. was not until he sat and said nothing, looked at her long, Was them hold in heart, the holy Lord, Mild in the mind. Mouth now he opened up and pointed with his words, the Wielder's son, Of Wedding Magnificent much. The hero says' he In peeking sayings that to the language had Christ, the all-ruling, gekoren, Who of all inhabitants of the earth God the most interesting were the people: "I tell you surely are blessed in this world means that in the mind are the arm of humility, for the eternal kingdom of heaven in Au is sanctified them, your life does not shrink. Selig (blessed) also The Gentle Radical: they are the same land owning that same realm. Selig then, bewail the their wrongs, they must incurring joy, consolation in the same realm. Blessed are the faithful also the judge for justice: in the kingdom of the Lord Find full reward. Enjoy the From Mens, The justice directed here, with the speech did not deceive the people at the grindstone. Blessed are the gentle was the heart of the hero's chest: it is the holy Lord, The Almighty, mild. Selig also in the crowd, the pure in heart: they are the sky Walter Gaze in his kingdom. Blessed are the peacemakers who do not donate feud with guilt complain: they are called sons of the Lord: he will be merciful to you, that they long to enjoy Shall his kingdom. Blessed are then, that the rights of those in power want and therefore tolerate hate speech and Harm: them also is in heaven, God indulged Au and intellectual life once the eternal days, the end is not coming. The blissful good " So Wielding Christ had the noble men of eight designated hostilities said with which sure everyone receives the kingdom of heaven, who wants to have it, or forever he starves one day Des welfare and bliss when he leaves the world, The earth lots, one other to seek light. He is love or sorrow, as he among the people here Seemed in this world, just as it literally said Christian, the all-ruling, the most powerful kings, God's own son, disciple to his flock. "Blessed are ye also, when you accuse In the land of the people and talk to sorrow, you have to Hohne and Harmes much you prepare effecting in this world and woe, vice speech donate and strong hostility, deny your teachings, all suffering do to you And Harm to the Lord. That you may in the heart not to spoil one's life: you may obtain compensation in God's kingdom for the goods, any: large and, mannigfalt it is you, Because you erduldetet ehbevor work here, woe in this world. Weher is another, Grimmer was made ​​them, the Good had here, world-wide well-being. The consume their bliss here in the enjoyment of enough. However, they should Not After their outward journey, the heroes endure. then mourn the sacrilege that are previously here in pleasures, living in all lusts, and do not want to leave From the My thoughts, what excites her courage, From leidigem life. Your reward will be hardship and bad work; they are then the end Seeing with worries; will complain and her heart, That they do so indulged their will in the world, the men in her mute. Such Meintat them points with defensive end words, for have I want you And surely tell her my companions, With words of truth that you in this world, the salt be ye shall the sinful man to atone for wickedness, that at better ways of going out The people , the enemy works leaving, to seek The Devil's deeds, the Comforter Empire. way to much your teachings of the people turn to my will. But who is naught, who leaves the doctrine which it is to live, the I compare the salts, which on the lake shore is Widely discarded because it is good for little more, since it occurred, the children of the people with feet on the tailings go. So it happens, the word of God is to report to the people: because quarreled his courage, that he does not want to Heaven with singleness of heart spurs in his own language, but also saves the speech of God, and staggers in the words, the Walt end up being him gram, The Mighty angry, and the children of men even he is then all that dwell on earth, spoiled, the people who is not good in teaching. " So wisely spoke there, proclaiming God's Word and teaching the people, the country waiting with pure hearts. The heroes were, the good, to the Son of God, eagerly listening after wish and will; . His word was their desire they were silent and listened, listened to the peoples the Lord God's law say to the sons of men. He promised them the kingdom of heaven, and said to the hero: "I still like to tell you, my fellows, with words of truth, that you no longer allow the world A light shall the people children, shine far off pleasing to the peoples much blissfully radiant. Your works may not remain concealed, with which the heart you do them. Just as the castle, which stands on the mountain would remain on high Felsenhöh, concealed, The mighty giant factory, so little like your words in this middle world to men on earth remain hidden . Used my teaching: Let your light to the people shine, the children of men, that they recognize your mind, your work and euern will, and the prevailing God drum with pure hearts, Heavenly Father, praise their lives, who lent you such a doctrine. No one should hide his light before the people, the veil bright, but highly he pos's put in the room that everyone sees it, the one as the other, which are darinne The heroes in the hall: then shall ye also your holy word In these lands do not involve the people who conceal the heroes, but it is high and wide widths, the commandment of the Lord, that the natives all in this land, the people, understand and follow so as in former days reported in words highly wise men , As the Old Covenant held the Edlinge, And only the stricter still, as I say now, The Good all serve his God, as it was commanded in the Old Testament already anyway. because not mentioned, I'd come into the world about to overturn the old covenant, to bring When people to case or Vorschauer to discard words that they as true men anbefahlen openly Us: earth and heaven should Previously disjointed, who stand so firmly established, Eh of words one only reprobate would remain in this life light they the people here truly reported. I did not know the words I want to make the Vorschauer, meet them, Mehren and renew the children of men, to this pious people to what was previously written there in the Old Testament. You often say hörtet In the wise words, who the do in the world, that he the other, shortening the age Solvent him from life, the people's children should be obtained from the d**h. I want you deeper now, and take solid: Who in hostility only in his courage One man to man, incensed yourself in the chest, which may be brothers, closely joined a blessed people of God in family, the men in Magschaft - and his courage is his gram, Will of life unmarried him if he could afford it - He's been ostracized and subject to d**h, all such judgment, just as that was, by the force of the hands of the head robbed a another man. Also it was said in the Old Testament with true words, as you all know, Each should his neighbor dearly cherish in our hearts and hold be the Gesippten, the relative good and mild in giving, love the friends and the enemies haßvoll In the battle against standing and with strong sense fight to the adversary. But I tell you truly full before this people, the enemies you shall cherish in the heart, as her friends are hold, in the name of God; do good to them a lot, they Indicates lautres heart and gracious faithfulness replies suffering with love. This is a long healing Men männiglichem, which in the mind of the fleißt cons enemies. The avails you to That ye commanded the King of Heaven sons, his pandering children. You can not improve Council win in this world. Also, I tell you truly, the babies all that ye with erbostem meaning no gift in worship of your good May you dedicate to the Walt ends that he wanted to pay tribute to empfahen from you, as long as their enmity still other some such and evil muses. Reconcile before you the adversary, Eintracht conspiring, then hurry, gifts to give to God's altar; then they are worth the Good, The King of Heaven. To his love is zealous and fulfilled his commandment, when the Jews is the custom set you adopt are the everlasting kingdom, everlasting everlasting life. I will also tell you if was offered in the Old Testament, That one another's marriage did not break, He deceives the woman, so I SOG added, That the eyes of an already persuaded to sombre irritate like mine, if he lets the courage, The to demand that the other spouse is. has already committed the sin in himself, in his heart of hell torment stapled. Wen his right eye or the right hand, entice a member wants to suffer the way More likely availed any other choice The men among the people that he drafts it away, The limb broke away from the corpses And ohn it would go up to heaven, as that he might bring all to the abyss, to hell with hot heal limbs. too human weakness warns that course often to the friends do not follow that the crime attracts him to blame the Gesippte. And he had him by clan beschlechtet still so strong The Magschaft still so powerful when the murder he drive him, wants to bring evil deed; better it is then, the distant friend to come by themselves, shunning him, Minne not to show him that he should alone ascend to high heaven when they hell compulsion win everlasting woe both their worst disaster. In the Old Testament it is said also with words of truth, as you all know, That should avoid perjury man, Not to conspire: the sin is too big, Enticed of people on so much suffering way. myself But I tell you that no one swear to some oaths Earth Wohner: In the sky, the high not, he is the Lord's chair, not in the earth beneath, it is the all-ruling Beautiful footstool; also no swear In your own head, because no hair he likes otherwise effecting white nor black, than as the Walt End, The Mighty made. Therefore man shuns the oaths justly: if it happens a lot. Takes it always easier of Use and protects itself no longer last cause I will charge you with words of truth, That no heavier oaths sworn possibilities among people, because when I with my you words truly here will command: Anyone looking for a thing that say what is true, Speak yes, if it is, and honor the truth, Sage no, if it is not, and enough idiots him in mind: The more that about a man do not wants everything comes from evil among the children on earth, That from infidelity of one does not want the other's words hold true. Then I tell you truly, if was necessary in the Old Testament, so one's eyes behave the other, solvent from the body, or any member of, The, shall it itself with its repay, to the same limb: I instructive contrast you, That ye so not avenge what happens contrary to law, But suffered in humility all shame and disgrace and what else causes you. Tu always the man to another man, What avails it and like it when he calls that people do him good, however. Then God will be his mild And the people anyone who wants to do that. Honor the poor, the surplus shares to the needy people, and does not ask if her thanks Recovers or wage in this geliehnen world. Leave it to only euerm dear Lord, to repay the gifts that God reward you, The mighty mouth, Lord, what is happening from Minne to it. 'd give you like only good men Delicious gems where you benefit could earn double, you would have the merit of God or to gain reward, who lent you everything? Thus it is with all you others are doing sake of the people if you want to match to pay for word and works. How it wot the end Thanks to Walt, If you do your only surrender, it heischen again? lends the people the good, the not here below it worthwhile, And Strive alone by Walt ends of Kingdoms. Not to appear to do it if you alms poor darreichst with your hands; with demütgem heart Give it to God sake, so you will be retaliation, Gar lovely wage, where you needest his long rants salvation. What are you made ​​of a pious mind surrender Secretly, which is worth the gentlemen. Do not do great with the gifts: this shall be the donor no, That by vain glory they do not back him Leidig lost go, for he shall receive a reward before the eyes of God, the good works. I also reserve you even if in prayer tends ye And euern gentlemen asks for help, that he wanted to adopt you suffer deeds, the guilt and the sin which ye yourselves gefährdetet Hostile, so does not do it before the people, That it realize the amount and people praise you order the folding of the hands: your prayer to the Lord OK, all lost by the vain glory. Rather ye the Lord, asking for help, Humility deserve, which is why you is great durft, That the dispenser of victory deliver you from sin, then does it secretly, because the Lord knows, the holy in heaven, where nothing remains concealed, non-word still works. Then he granted you everything What you ask him if her prayer for you, tend with pure hearts. " The heroes were, and surrounded the Son of God with great eagerness. My greatest wish was to hear his words. they were silent and thought - their need was great - to keep in the heart of what the Holy Child Because for the first time them with words told great things. Since the twelve one, began The talented disciples to the Son of God: "Good Lord and Teacher, your grace is not us, to work your will, to hear your words, The infants best. Therefore, teach us to pray now, your disciples, as John does, the expensive Baptist, who all day Briefs The elect how to Walt ends, the encoder greet. To us, your disciples. Uncover the mystery " The Magnificent had since without hemming, the son of the Lord, Good words ready: "If their God the Lord with words like, Walt ends greet, The Kings strongest, say, as I make known to you. LORD'S PRAYER Our Father, all of your children, the you're in high kingdom of heaven is going Consecrated your name in every word, to us Thy powerful kingdom, your will is tremendously over the world, Hie down on earth as it is up there, high in the tall kingdom of heaven. Grant us, dear Lord, daily necessities, Your holy help! Adopting us, heaven waiting, all wrongdoing, as we do others, And let us not tempt annoying gravity, to act your will if we the worthy that thou erlösest us from all evil. So you shall ask, if ye to prayer tends to you with worthy words that Wielding God Suffering adopts you, the Tatet her people. because let their people like single The guilt and the sins that they themselves here seemed cons you, shall adopt the Walt end, The Almighty father, also you the outrage, The My deeds amount. But you grow the courage That you forgive myself reluctant to others, what they did against you, so will punish you the Walt end the blame do not pay, shall you pay for with very leidigem wage in the long hours, all the wrongs that you others Tatet In light of this life, if you to the people not sühntet The guilt before your soul Away track of this world. Also, I tell you the truth, yet, So you want to live according to my teaching, as often as you henceforth want to keep the fasting, to reduce your Meintat, then do this before the crowd does not, in front of the people avoid it: the Almighty knows yet, The Walt end, euern will, when in the world you also do not praise the people. The wage then gives you your holy Father in Heaven Rich, If you have ministered to him in humility on earth, Fromm under people. On many profit goes not with injustice: serves up to God To pay, you people that reached longer, as if you lived on earth in abundance, accustomed to worldly pleasure. Want to hear my words her way here does not accumulate treasures of silver and gold, in this center circle Mammonsgüter: The eradicates and rust, thieves steal it, worms devastate it; the robe zerschleißt, The Pot of Gold melts. Doing good works, Häufet in heaven you greater Hort, Erfreulichern stock, which no enemy may behave, steal No thief. It awaits your answer there quite how much you of the good way in the kingdom of heaven, the treasure, you collected through your hands gift. Then returns to mind, because the human mind and thought is usually, His heart and mind, where the hoard is him, The collected treasure. So blessed is nobody, that he achieved both in this wide world, to live on this earth in abundance in all Weltlüsten and yet the prevailing God To serve you, but among the things he have an ever renounce both on, the lusts of the body or eternal life. Do not worry about clothes, familiar boldly to the Lord, struggles you in mind not what ye tomorrow eating or drinking or create. Become robes of It knows Wielding God, Wes require that serve him here, follow His commands. On the birds you like the truly perceive that about the world in spring shirts fly they do not accumulate stock, and God gives them but any day Against the famine relief. Also you noted in the heart of Des garment because of how their plants look festive decorated stand in the field, And gorgeous bloom: did not like the Burgwart, Solomon the king, but mighty treasure, delicious gems such as no king before Won and all garment selection, but he does not mocht his body, which all the land obeyed, win Such garb like plants, have the stand on the field in festive j**elery, The lily with lovely flowers. The country's Walter she dresses, the noble, the Himmelsau. And the heroes are more to him, the people much prefer that he created the land between The Walt end to his will. Drum shall ye not worry about gown, Do not complain about the suit: for all that makes God. Helper of the Himmelsau if you only serves to his mercy seek ye first the kingdom of God and do deeds of righteousness, According to the rights struggles, so wants the rich Lord you give all goods, if you like to follow him, As I am telling you with words of truth. You likewise ought themselves too sharp not judge judge Unfair, because the verdict comes back quickly over the directing, and since it is to repent to Him are to heavy woe, when his word to sharp fared over the other. Of you do that no one, her children, at purchase or exchange, that he the other man with unrechtem measure fair My full, because it must ergehn On earth here all: how he does his neighbor, quite as encountered it to him where he liked not wanted His sin see her again. Also, I tell you yet, How ye true May you from serious reference, because many things my work. How do you like beschelten your brothers one that you give him under the brows sow a blade of gra** in his eyes, because you do not beherzigst the evil bar, the tree in your marriage, the heavy that you yourself have? Take that to mind first, as you're the erlösest that light shines before you, The eyes never rise to you, then you may always also looking to improve the Gesippten face to heal His head. So heg in the heart More in this middle world of the people of all, what evil he committed himself in this world, as that he pay attention to the other's guilt and sin, because He Himself more fully led Des violence. Considering he be pious, he is said to herself only do of sins, resolve suffer from plants; with his teachings he come then the people to help if he knows nothing but itself, safe from sin. Before the pigs you should not throw your pearls or sea artfully knit, Delicious treasures, because they come in Kot's, it scrawl in the sand, do not know about ornamental, Of fine j**elry. Such here are many, your holy word The do not want to hear, act of God doctrine. they do not know God are much prefer them empty words, ignoble things as their lord and master's will and works. Unworthy they are so, Your holy word to hear: her heart does not want to consider not learn and do: it does not teach better, That you God's commandment and good teaching not lose the people who do not want to believe the words of truth. Also you shall preserve With List before men, where you ride in the lands, That you mendacious teachers do not deceive with words or works. They come in a beautiful gown, in festive decorations to you, but have the wrong sense. you like them you soon realize when you see them come: They speak demonstrable words; but their works are good for nothing, The sword thoughts. You know that in thorns not grapes grow even Valuable any, Pleasing fruit; also figs you do not read, your heroes, from Hiefdorn. The May you remember her, That you, an evil tree where he stands in the ground does not give good fruit; as it did not create God also, That the good tree per the Erdegebornen Bitter would bring; From every tree comes only such greenhouse in this world as it bursts from its root, sweet or sour. In the mind of the aims, on the amount of mind in the human race, As every one of us there himself indicates, with the mouth of reports, what mind he had, what he cherish in heart, for no one can deny it. From the evils man is arrant Council, bitter evil speech, as he in the chest she has stapled in his heart: he announces high and loud after His will with the words and the works. example, comes from the good man and a good answer, demonstrable from his knowledge : with words he speaks of it, with the mouth of the man, what he wears in the mind, as a refuge in the heart; comes from him sacred doctrine, Very blissfully word: his works are then the people prosper and the sword of course often be to benefit, as even the Walt end has been good men, God, the Almighty, Heavenly Lord; for without his help they may still obtain good works with words in this middle world. That is why the people are sons at his sole force them all together believe. I will also give you instruction, such as the two paths is in this light are that the people go kids, all people on earth. One of the streets is far and wide: the hike very many, a lot of people that their courage Tempted and the lust of the world: to the left hand She guides the people, where they lost go, The heroes in hell because it is hot and black, Terribly inside. The journey there is easily the earth-born; but the end will not serve. then is another, far closer way in this world that few hiking, A weak band: the sons of men Gehn not like, although he to the kingdom of God, him in eternal life Edlinge pa**es . Take ye the narrow, because if he did not even slightly is to go to the people, he leads but to the pious. Everyone who uses it, receives retribution, long-enduring reward, eternal life, blissful delight. Be ye the Lord, ask the Walt ends, that this journey you dürft drive from the front and go away it Up in God's kingdom. He is always ready to give gifts To those who would like to ask him, Fromm imploring him. Addiction euern father up there in the eternal realms: ye shall evermore him to find euerm pious. Do your ride as known at the turn-on doors, it shall be opened, open the gates of heaven, that you in the holy light Do you like entering into the kingdom of God, the eighth of the inheritance and. I tell you, moreover, before this vast nation truly a parable. course often the people who want my teaching in his heart so cherish and keep in mind that he makes them happy, probably compares himself to a wise man who is wiser and communicate meaning has he the site of his house selected on solid rock, carefully on the rock yourself affects the apartment where the wind do not like wog and water power harm the plants. the tempests, it resists all on the cliff above, since so tight it was placed on the stone: the place already it receives and preserves it from the wind that does not like it soft. Yet the men of course often that is not on my want to listen to lessons and do nothing about it, the doing as the unwise, the Ungewitzigte, The in the sand near the water wants rooms a house, Where westerly wind and the waves of electricity, smashes the lake. Is not it like sand and grit defend Against the wind, but it is zerworfen, decays by the flood, because it is not on solid earth is timbered. So to anyone and everyone prospers the fact that he kept my word, your work My holy commandment. "
