Matins Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Matthew the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Matthew 5 : 17 - 24
Chapter 5
| 17 | "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
|
| 18 | For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
|
| 19 | Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
|
| 20 | For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
|
| 21 | "You have heard that it was said to those of old, "You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.'
|
| 22 | But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, "Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, "You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.
|
| 23 | Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
|
| 24 | leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
