6 And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after
righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost.
3 Nephi 12:7
7 And blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
3 Nephi 12:8
8 And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
3 Nephi 12:9
9 And blessed are all the peacemakers, for they shall be called
the children of God.
3 Nephi 12:10
10 And blessed are all they who are persecuted for my name's
sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
3 Nephi 12:11
11 And blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
sake;
3 Nephi 12:12
12 For ye shall have great joy and be exceedingly glad, for
great shall be your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the
prophets who were before you.
3 Nephi 12:13
13 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I give unto you to be the
salt of the earth; but if the salt shall lose its savor wherewith
shall the earth be salted? The salt shall be thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.
3 Nephi 12:14
14 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I give unto you to be the
light of this people. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
3 Nephi 12:15
15 Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay,
but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the
house;
3 Nephi 12:16
16 Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that
they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in
heaven.
3 Nephi 12:17
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets.
I am not come to destroy but to fulfil;
3 Nephi 12:18
18 For verily I say unto you, one jot nor tittle hath not passed
away from the law, but in me it hath all been fulfilled.
3 Nephi 12:19
19 And behold, I have given you the law and the commandments of
my Father, that ye shall believe in me, and that ye shall repent
of your sins, and come unto me with a broken heart and a contrite
spirit. Behold, ye have the commandments before you, and the law
is fulfilled.
3 Nephi 12:20
20 Therefore come unto me and be ye saved; for verily I say unto
you, that except ye shall keep my commandments, which I have
commanded you at this time, ye shall in no case enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
3 Nephi 12:21
21 Ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, and
it is also written before you, that thou shalt not kill, and
whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment of God;
3 Nephi 12:22
22 But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother
shall be in danger of his judgment. And whosoever shall say to
his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and
whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
3 Nephi 12:23
23 Therefore, if ye shall come unto me, or shall desire to come
unto me, and rememberest that thy brother hast aught against
thee—
3 Nephi 12:24
24 Go thy way unto thy brother, and first be reconciled to thy
brother, and then come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I
will receive you.
3 Nephi 12:25
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly while thou art in the way
with him, lest at any time he shall get thee, and thou shalt be
cast into prison.
3 Nephi 12:26
26 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come
out thence until thou hast paid the uttermost senine. And while
ye are in prison can ye pay even one senine? Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Nay.
3 Nephi 12:27
27 Behold, it is written by them of old time, that thou shalt
not commit adultery;
3 Nephi 12:28
28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman, to
lust after her, hath committed adultery already in his heart.
3 Nephi 12:29
29 Behold, I give unto you a commandment, that ye suffer none of
these things to enter into your heart;
3 Nephi 12:30
30 For it is better that ye should deny yourselves of these
things, wherein ye will take up your cross, than that ye should
be cast into hell.
3 Nephi 12:31
31 It hath been written, that whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorcement.
3 Nephi 12:32
32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away
his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery; and whoso shall marry her who is divorced
committeth adultery.
3 Nephi 12:33
33 And again it is written, thou shalt not forswear thyself, but
shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths;
3 Nephi 12:34
34 But verily, verily, I say unto you, swear not at all; neither
by heaven, for it is God's throne;
3 Nephi 12:35
35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool;
3 Nephi 12:36
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
make one hair black or white;
3 Nephi 12:37
37 But let your communication be Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for
whatsoever cometh of more than these is evil.
3 Nephi 12:38
