The


From Matthew
* after declaring the Beatitudes, Jesus describes God's people as "salt" and "Light"
* From Matthew [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/5?13 5:13-16]:


==== Salt of the earth ====
==== Salt of the earth ====
''“You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot”'' (Mt 5:21:13)
“You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot”  
You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.


==== '''Anger''' ====
=== Matthew's Antithesis ===
''“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment.”'' (Mt 5:21-22)


==== Lust in the heart ====
* after describing God's people, Jesus clarifies several of the Ten Commandments ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/5?17 Mt 5:17-48])
''“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”'' (Mt 5:27-28)
* "antitheses" refers to Jesus' response, addition and clarification of the Commandments
** especially in terms of their implication
** ex., "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultry" command not just against the acts but their origin in the heart
** Thereby Jesus does not change the Commandments, he clarifies and extends them
* excerpts include:  


==== Turn the other cheek ====
==== Teaching About the Law ====
''“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on [your] right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.”'' (Mt 5:38-39)
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.(Mt 5:17)


==== Love your enemy ====
==== Teaching About Anger ====
“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment.” (Mt 5:21-22)
 
==== Teaching About Adultery ====
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Mt 5:27-28)
 
==== Teaching About Divorce ====
It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce.’ But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (Mt 5:31-32)
 
==== Teaching About Oaths ====
Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one. (Mt 5:37)
 
==== Teaching About Retaliation ====
“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on [your] right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.” (Mt 5:38-39)
 
===== Love of Enemies =====
''“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.”'' (Mt 43-48)
''“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.”'' (Mt 43-48)
* Jesus then adds,
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect. (5:1-
===== Teaching About Almsgiving. =====
[But] take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
==== Teaching About Prayer ====
“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. (Mt 6:5-8)
The Lord's Prayer
“This is how you are to pray ...
* see below for "Our Father" prayer
==== Teaching About Fasting ====
so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you. (Mt. 6:18)
Treasure in Heaven
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. (Mt. 6:21)
===== The Light of the Body =====
but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be. (Mt 6:23)
==== God and Money ====
No one can serve two masters. (Mt 6:24)
==== Dependence on God ====
Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil. (Mt 6:34)

But woe to you who are rich,for you have received your consolation. (Lk 6:24)
But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic. (Lk 27-29)
Do to others as you would have them do to you.For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. (Lk 6:31-32)
Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. (Lk 6:37)
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye. (Lk 41-42)
A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit. (Lk 6:43)
Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I command? (Lk 6:46)
But the one who listens and does not act is like a person who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, it collapsed at once and was completely destroyed. (Lk 6:49)
