And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 BLESSED are the POOR in spirit: for THEIRS is the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
4 BLESSED are they that MOURN: for they shall be COMFORTED.
5 BLESSED are the meek: for they shall INHERIT the earth.
6 BLESSED are they which DO HUNGER and THIRST after righteousness: FOR THEY SHALL BE FILLED.
7 BLESSED are the MERICFUL: for they shall obtain MERCY.
8 BLESSED are the PURE IN HEART: for they SHALL SEE GOD.
9 BLESSED are the PEACEMAKERS: for they shall be called the CHILDREN OF GOD.
10 BLESSED are they which are PERSECUTED for RIGHTEOUSNESS' sake: for THIERS is the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
11 BLESSED ARE YE, WHEN MEN SHALL REVILE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU, AND SHALL SAY ALLLLL MANNER OF EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, FOR MY SAKE.
12 REJOICE, and BE EXCEEDING GLAD: FOR GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN: FOR SO PERSECUTED THEY THE PROPHETS WHICH WERE BEFORE YOU.
13 YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH: BUT IF THE SALT LOST HIS SAVOUR, WHEREWITH SHALL IT BE SALTED? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and TO BE TRODDEN UNDER FOOT OF MEN.
14 YE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY THAT IS SET ON AN HILL CANNOT BE HID.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let YOUR light so shine before men, that they may see your GOOD WORKS, and GLORIFY YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
17 THINK. NOT. THAT. I. AM. COME. TO. DESTROY. THE. LAW, OR. THE. PROPHETS: I. AM. ((( NOT ))) COME. TO. DESTROY. BUT. TO. FULFILL.
18 FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE. JOT . OR. ONE. TITTLE. SHALL IN NO WISE. PASS. FROM. THE. LAW. TILL. ALLLLL. BE. FULFILLED.
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.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall EXCEED the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
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, THOU FOOL, shall be in danger of hell fire.
This is casting judgment, but seek the Lord regarding foolishness of such before you which are grown in with the Lord, for Anger, or RACA is defined as a reproach or worthless...and Thou Fool by man's opinion is not God's opinion...be careful in giving bad talk of things...always PROVE ALL THINGS in your thoughts and don't just talk of it without natural evidence...for YOU WILL BE the ONE FOUND OUT...
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; FIRST BE RECONCILED TO THY BROTHER, and then come and offer thy gift.
This is indeed a great thing at times...some ignore this and it hinders ones prayers...if you offended a brother and find you are wrong in the word and it does NOT PROVE to be right...apologize and make it right...for Politics will not get you into heaven that is the righteousness of the Pharisees etc...because it creates usually clicks and gossip trails...for the Pharisees would not deal and preach to the poor or the lunaticks they would leave them basically to be as they were because the others were in their club if you please...such Disgusted the Almighty...and He came and OPENED their eyes...
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Agreeing with your adversary is not at all times the worst thing...lest they bring you down or take your life with in some manners...this is NOT being a Martyr as in being tortured for not denying Christ this is regarding the wickedness of the world such as things of difference...PROVE ALL the Matter is it worthy or if you are in too deep how do you get out in some cases ALIVE...this happens everyday...but IF YOU HEED TO THE COMMANDMENTS and HIS WAY you will be tested and pray to be pure in all your ways...Stand for GOD has Perfect Judgment O HOW He weighs the matters in perfect to the utter degree...in such cases...then Jesus Christ states and being honest will help in the binds some people get themselves in...these people change things for the better in most ways...but how it goes and what when where and why will be paid in perfection in the uttermost farthing...
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
So Jesus Takes it to a deeper step, and also into the divinity of the mind...so that the mind and the Marriage remains pure....be honest with each other so you can reach the better and most awesome love than letting the flesh rule the soul. For it should always be the Flesh is subject to the soul there is really no way to reach this in the world and if you are unequally yoked but if you both get the Holy Ghost you can reach the magnitude in which God intended for love...and doing it the way Jesus Christ expected...this is the same as believing in all the scriptures not just this law and forsaking the other to condone such matters of the way of the world which renders fruits of disease and a polluted marriage and mind...things will get hard but that is when you are one and you push through Jesus Christ to another level...
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
So this means not to envision another than your wife or husband, for that is adultery in the heart, and by allllll means if someone attempts to kiss you and you are married abstain and BOLDLY and DIRECTLY turn them away and denounce their actions...DONT accept their kiss...movies portray this as he/she just kissed me what was I to do? That is the stupidest way to handle this, unless they force themselves on you because it is unholy...now if the other is unfaithful be faithful to God...this is NOT easy by NO MEANS but GREAT is your REWARD than the Other but your are free to leave them...once this occurs staying and being silent condones it...
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement.
Now here is still the divinity of deepness to this passage below...and I still ponder this, but waiting till the night is the best and most pure...NOT as man or the WORLD states...if YOU LIVE FOR GOD you do IT HIS WAY NOT THE WAY of this WORLD for it is death and brings a series of divorce and literally leads to a form and the beginning of the way of Abusers of mankind...
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, SWEAR NOT AT ALL; NEITHER BY HEAVEN; FOR IT IS GOD'S THRONE:
35 NOR BY THE EARTH; FOR IT IS HIS FOOTSTOOL: NEITHER BY JERUSALEM: FOR IT IS THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.
36 NEITHER SHALT THOU SWEAR BY THY HEAD, BECAUSE THOU CANST NOT MAKE ONE HAIR WHITE OR BLACK.
So this tells me if you make an oath to the Almighty God it is best to perform it...or He will hold you to it...and He knows if you can perform it; His judgment is perfect and all HIS WAYS are PERFECT and so right...
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
This is to your benefit when this happens though it is in the Longsuffering fruit of the HOLY GHOST...some say not I, but your walk and the steps of a righteous man are ordered before the Lord...this is the hardest trials and I did this and prayed for them and so did King David...this is NOT being week...but it is a righteous thing because they are the ones who are evil...but this is where you are to REJOICE for this face as in v11 BLESSED ARE YE, WHEN MEN SHALL REVILE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU, AND SHALL SAY ALLLLL MANNER OF EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, FOR MY SAKE. ---Now if they know the truth it is against them and they shall be chastised and those that don't but the laws of God but of the land and more It is A WITNESS TO THEM that you are ONE OF LIGHT...Jesus did this in the Synagogues as an example all the time...and Paul gives example in v7 below Paul ask why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
I Corinthians 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. ---this v13 Goes with the passage of saving oneself for marriage, if you think you cant and you have been with many, you can regain by abstaining and the Blessings of Purity will return...in the manner of which Jesus Christ has intended for He is a Redeemer and Holiness and Purity is based on discovery and seeking God Out and ASKING Him about Holiness and Purity and Proving All THINGS and STANDING...It works.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
Things are things just pray about this and if you dedicate your life to the Lord He will be Always blessing everything of yours...I mean everything you own...King David did this, is where I found this to be so warm and ever Loving to God for He was a man after God's Own Heart...and I love God for he has loads and loads of benefits which we cannot even began to comprehend...Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. SELAH --- This is an awesome thing to ponder...
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Just keep His commandments when you go with them a mile and it is for a good cause...
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee TURN NOT THOU AWAY.
This is giving now use reasoning, if you don't have it to give don't give...
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you;
Now This means you have the beautiful and the ugly, the fat and the skinny, the lazy and the workaholics, the prestige and the low, the poor and the rich, the healthy and the sick, and the educated and the uneducated, the gifted and the common...and so on it goes and reigns on the wicked and the righteous...because it is all about overcoming...The Good News is whatever generation you are you must always press to overcome in Christ...Only Jesus Christ is perfect...We all have our obstacles and the degree and weight of them is granted by God for us to overcome...BY ALL MEANS put you eyes on GOD NEVER MAN for you will always find want in comparison to someone else's life because it is never complete, but turn to God because He is complete and Our life is but a vapor...so pray to endure to the End with Jesus Christ!
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
This is indeed another trying in utter ways, and it can be done from high levels and high ranks, and you can climb the ladder but Honestly the best thing to do is be an entrepreneur, for the ways to climb sometimes is so unethical but just Pray God's will be done because corporations and such don't go to heaven... besides Gods will be done...and It is the most free way to be as an Entrepreneur for the sky is the limit and pay as Jesus States Render to Caesar what is Caesar's which is pay your taxes, whether you are self employed or employed however your status ...but FIRST pay the FIRST FRUITS and God will supply does not mean you will not be tried...on the GROSS because it is the First Fruits is why...ALSO if you do this God will supply all the surplus in accordance to the law and THIS PROMISE in v11...Otherwise the Devourer will devourer your business or you working check in many ways...hence why He states PROVE ME NOW HEREWITH..THIS A VERY WISE CONCEPT....
Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and PROVE ME NOW HEREWITH, saith the Lord of hosts, IF I WILL NOT OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING, THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGHT TO RECEIVE IT.11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.12 And all nations shall call you blessed: FOR YE SHALL BE A DELIGHTSOME LAND, saith the Lord of hosts. Note: when this is done YOU DONT give it to the man but it is to GOD...and give it to one who believes in JESUS CHRIST is the SON of GOD and is GOD...for HE IS the GREAT I AM...He will bless perfectly and take care of your taxes even---yes it is trying still ...ortherwise the ways of the life you will have the devourer in your life always...and EVEN JOB paid his bills when he was poor...IT is a BLESSNG to give but Why I say this it helps you fight all those which revile you and persecute you and curse you...believe me...keeping to the fruits of the spirit and one is longsuffering but Let YOUR LIGHT SHINE in accordance with the Commandments is perfect in ALL ways and most prosperous...when you think they are NOT the ways of the fruits of the Spirit which is in accordance with Jesus Christ, Peter's and Paul's teachings BEWARE FOR that is the way of the people in the Days of NOAH...
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
It is best to gain as He states it takes you to many levels of what He did for us...for He didn't have to Die for US but He did...for Israel he died, but He grafted in the gentiles...Think about it...He died for ISRAEL ...He did IT in perfection and in TRUTH and didn't condone any false righteousness of the Pharisees and Sadducees...HE DID exceed in the UTTERMOST degree---5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall EXCEED the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
