“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
“Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
“If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
“The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
“Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
“Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.
“Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
“But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,
or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
