5:2 And HE opened His mouth, and taught them, saying,

5:12 Simcha, and Lev sameach :

Salt and light (Mark 9:50; Luke 14;34, 35)- Tikun Olam
5:13 Ye are the melach haEretz:
but if the salt have lost His savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
5:14 Ye are the Ohr olam Hazeh. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Shamayim.
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the Neviim:
I am not come to destroy, but to complete.
5:18 For Truly I say unto you:
Till Shamayim and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah, till all be accomplished.
5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, HE shall be called the least in the malkut ha shamayim: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the malkut ha shamayim.
5:20 For I say unto you, That except your tzidkat shall exceed [the tzidkat] of the Sofrim and Perushim, ye shall in no case enter into the malkut ha shamayim.
5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the misphat:
5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with His brother without a cause shall be in danger of the misphat: and whosoever shall say to His brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of Gehenna fire.
5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
*5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
5:26 Truly I say unto thee:
Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in His heart.
5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into Gehenna.
5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into Gehenna.
(Matt 19:9; Mark 10:11, 12; Luke 16:18; Rom 7:1-3; 1 Cor 7)
5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away His wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away His wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Adonay thine shevuot:
5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by Shamayim; for it is Elohim (אלהים)'s throne:
5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Yerushalayim; for it is the city of the great King.
5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
5:37 But let your statement be:
'Yes' be 'yes';
'No' be 'no':
anything beyond these is of evil.
5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said,
An eye for an eye,
and a tooth for a tooth:
5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the Torah, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
5:45 That ye may be the children your Father which is in Shamayim: for HE maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Shamayim is perfect.
Blessed: The Greek word for blessed is makario which means fully satisfied, happy, in Hebrew is asher possessing the favor of Elohim (אלהים)
5:3 Poor in Spirit (Matt 9:11-13; Rev 3:1, 17-18)Yeshayahu 66:2 helpless, reduced to beggary, begging, asking alms destitute of wealth, influence, position, honour lowly, afflicted, destitute of the believer virtues and eternal riches helpless, powerless to accomplish an end poor, needy lacking in anything as respects their spirit destitute of wealth of learning and intellectual culture which the schools afford (men of this class most readily give themselves up to Moshiach's teaching and proved them selves fitted to lay hold of the heavenly treasure) The poor in spirit are those who acknowledge their own helplessness and rely on Elohin's omnipotence. The sensed their spiritual need and find it supplied in Adonay.
5:4 Mourn Avelim (Rev 21; Yeshayahu 61:2) Also godly sorrow which worketh true repentance, watchfulness, a humble mind, and continual dependence for acceptance on the mercy of YHWH (יהוה) in Moshiach Yeshua, with constant seeking the Ruach Hakodesh, to cleanse away the remaining evil, seems here to be intended.
5.5 the meek (Anavim) shall inherit the earth (Yeshayahu 29:19). The meek ones are those who takes Moshiach' spirit having the attributes of becoming meek or gentle. The meek person is gentle and mild in His own cause, though HE may be a lion in YHWH (יהוה)'s cause or standing the truth (Roman 7:24)
5.6 Those who hunger and thirst for Tzidkat are those who have a desire for righteouness in their own lives, long to see honesty, integrity and justice in society, practice set apart lifestyle. Their lives being filled with Ruach of Moshiach their halak would be shiny testimony for Moshiach is the Torat Chayim. (Luke 1:53)
5:7 the merciful are blessed...for they shall obtain Rachamim: To be mercifiul means to be actively compassionate. To have forgiving spirit (matt 18:21-35)
5:8 The Lev Tahor( pure in heart Psa 51:12) (Psa 24:4-5; Matt 6:21-24; James 1:8; 1Jn 3:2-3) conscience is clean, Kadosh set apart living
