New Testament

Matthew 5:15-28 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

15. Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a bushel, but on a lamp stand; and it gives 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 who 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 away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all 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, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21. You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall 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, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

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

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.

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.

26. Verily I say unto you, you shall by no means come out of there, till you have paid the last penny.

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

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.
