I You Spare 9 Minutes to Read ■ _.hite or black. But your way of speaking ■yL‘ or "No.” Any thing that goes beyond that K from the evil one. I L have heard that they were told, "An eye lot’ and a tooth for a tooth." But I Cell you not K> injury, but if anyone strikes you on your right turn the other to him too; and if anyone [ts t0 sue you for your shirt, let him have yout / A wv : too. And if anyone forces you to go one mi/e, Itu-o miles with him. If anyone begs from you, : to him, and when anyone wane to borrow from t. do not turn away. I You have heard that they were told, "You ! your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I tell , love your enemies and pray for your petsecuaors, [that you may show yourselves true sons of your titer in heaven, for be makes his sun rise on bad good alike, and makrs the rain fall on the tight and the wrongdoers. For if you love ooip who love you, what reward can you expect? i not the very tax-collectors do that? And if you t polite to your brothers and no one else, what la ere remarkable in that? Do not the very heathen that? So you are to be perfect, as your heavenly tier is. But take care not to do your good deeds in puhlic people to see, for, if you do, you will get no :J from your Father in heaven. So when you i going to give to charity, do not blow a trumpet IV// ^ / /} tKP'&r fore yourself, as the hypocrites do, in places of ; and die streets, to make people praise them, you, diat is all the reward they will get! fine lcn )ou give to charity, yOur own left hand mint t -now what your right hand is doing, so ^ your £ / may be secret, and your Father who sees what ,txrtt will reward you. ^ hen >’0u pray, you must not be Eke the hypo* ‘Cj) or they lie to pray standing in plfKTt of wor md m the corners of the squares, to let people cm 1 tell you, that is the only reward they will “t w hen you pray, go into your own room, and " oor, and pray to your Father who is unseen, i' ",ur at^er w^o sees what is secret will reward ^ n when you pray, do not repeat empty J s ^ heathen do, for they itpagine dmr ir )crs will be heard if they use words enough. 1Uit not ^ hke them. For God, who is your lis iis th!^fWS what you nee<* before you ask him. ‘ h<rtfore. is the way you are to pray: *'*»tw «"?' y<’*r ““ b‘,ntrUt )ur unll a„ j 'i>e u,, , ,e °» earth as it it done in heaven! id Htors. ^ not su ’ s<n<: us U. , —*"« w vom the erf have forgiven one -ct us *o temptation, 1’ rom Pa>?e 3, This Section Voc H you forgive others when they offend you, your heavenly Father will forgive you too. But if you do hoc forgive others when they offend you, your heavenly Father will not forgive you for your offenses. ★ When you hst, do not put on a gloomy look, lice the hypocrites, for they neglect their personal appearance to let people see that they ate fasting. I tell you, that is all the reward they will get But when you fast, perfume your hair and wash your face, so that no one may see that you are fasting, except your Father who is unseen, and your Father who sees what is secret, will reward you. ★ Do nor score up your riches on earth, where moths md nut destroy them, and where thieves break in and steal them, but store up your riches in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and where thieves cannot break in and steal them. For wherever your tseaaue k, your heart wiU be also. I j&i Hie eye is the bmp of the body. If then your eye is sound, your whole body will be light, but if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be dark. If, therefore, your very light is darkness, how deep the darkness will be! No slave can belong to two masters, for he will either hate one and love the other, or stand by one and make light of the other. Tfou cannot serve God and money. Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about life, wondering what you will have to eat or drink, or about your body, won* dering what you will have to wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body than clothed Look at the wild birds. They do not sow or reap, or store their food in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more accounc than they? But which of you with all his worry can add a single hour to his life? Why should you worry about clothing? See how the wild Bowers grow. They do not toil or spin, and yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor was never dressed like ooc of them. But if God so beautifully dresses the /3k wild grass, which is alive today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, will he not much more surely cloche you, you who have so little faith? So do not worry and say, "What shall we have to eat?" or “What shall we have to drink?" or "What shall we have to wear?" For these are all things the heathen are in pursuit of, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need all this. But you must make his kingdom, and uprightness before him, your greatest care, and you will have all these other things besides. So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries of its own. Let each day be content with its own ills. ★ Pass no more judgments upon other people, so rKar you may not have judgment passed upon you. Pot you will be judged by the standard you judge by, and men will pay you hack with the same measure you have used with them. Why do you keep looking at the speck in your brother’s eye, and pay no atten tion to the beam that is in your own? How can you say to your brother, "Just let me get that speck out of your eye,” when all the time there is a beam in your own? You hypocrite! First get the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see to get the speck ' 'f your brother’s eve. if Do not give what is sacred to dogs, and do not! throw your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you in pieces. Ask, and what you ask will be given you. Search, and you will find what you search for. Knock, and the door will open to you. For it is always the one who asks who receives, and the one who searches who finds, and the one who knocks to whom the door opens. Which of you men when his son asks him fot some bread will give him a stone? Or if he asks fot a fish, will he give him a snake? So if you, bad as you. •V s' \ r — s w > ar*, enough to give your children what is good, how much more surely will your Father in heaven give what is good to those who ask him for it! There fore, you must always treat other people as yon would like to have them treat you, for this sums up die Law and the Prophets. ★ Go in at the narrow gate. For the road that leads •o destruction is broad and spacious, and there are many who go in by it. But the gate is narrow and the rood is hard that leads to life, and there are few, that find it. ★ Beware of the false prophets, who come to you disguised as sheep but are ravenous wolves under neath. \bu can tell them by their fruit. Do people pick grapes off thorns, or figs off thistles? Just so any sound tree bears good fruit, but a poor tree bears bod fruit. No sound tree can bear bad fruit, and no poor tree can bear good fruit. Any tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and burned. So you can tell them by their fruit. It is not everyone who says to me "Lord! Lord!” who will get into the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that Day, “Lord! Lord! Was it not in your name that we prophesied, and by your name that we drove out demons, and by your name that we did many mighty acts?” Then I will say to them plainly, "I never knew you! Go away from me, you who do wrong!” ★ Everyone, therefore, who listens to this teaching of mine and acts upon it, will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock. And the rain fell, and the rivers rose, and the winds blew, and beat about that house, and it did not go down, for its founda tions were on rock. And anyone who listens to this teaching of mine and does not act upon it, will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. And the rain fell and the rivers rose, and the winds blew and beat about that house, and it went down, and its downfall was complete. ★ When Jesus had finished this discourse, the crowds were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them like one who had authority and not h'Vp their scribes.
