Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.

Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell.
