In Matthew 5, Jesus gives many commands. These are 10 I have selected to highlight.
1. Matthew 5:16 - "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
2. Matthew 5:24 - "leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift."
3. Matthew 5:25 - "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison."
4. Matthew 5:30 - "if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."
5. Matthew 5:34-35 - "But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King."
6. Matthew 5:37 - "All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one."
7. Matthew 5:39 - "But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."
8. Matthew 5:41 - "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles."
9. Matthew 5:44 - "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,"
10. Matthew 5:48 - "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
