Matthew
5
11
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things about you falsely on account of me.
12
Rejoice and be glad because your reward is great in heaven, for they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way.
13
"You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its flavor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled on by people.
14
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15
People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16
In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven.
17
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them.
18
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter will pass from the law until everything takes place.
19
So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20
For I tell you, unless your righteousness goes beyond that of the experts in the law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
