  • Agree with Thine Adversary

  • Swear not at all by Heaven
  • Let your Communication be yea, yea and nay, nay
  • If someone smites you on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also
  • If any man will sue thee at the Law, and take away thy Coat, let him have thy Cloak also
  • If someone compels you to go a mile with him, go with him twain
  • Love your enemies
  • Bless them that curse you
  • Do good to them that hate you
  • Pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you
  • Be ye perfect, even as your father in heaven in perfect
  • Lay not up for yourself treasures upon earth where moth and rust corrupt and thieves break through and steel
  • No man can serve two masters.....you cannot serve God and Mammon
  • Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father Feedeth them.  Are ye not much better than them?
  • Which of ye by taking thought can add one Cubit into his Stature?
  • And why take ye thought for Raiment? Consider the Lilies of the Field, how they Grow, they Toil not, Neither do they Spin.
  • Therefore, take no thought saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink?  Or where withal shall we be clothed?
  • Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you
  • Take therefore no thought for the Morrow: for the Morrow shall take thoughts for the things of itself, Sufficient unto the day the evil there is thereof.
  • Judge not that ye be not Judged
  • Why behold thou the mote that is in the Brother's Eye, but not considereth not the beam that is in thy own eye
  • Ask and it shall be given thee; seek, and ye shall find; and knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
  • If ye then being evil know how to give good Gifts unto your Children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask him?
