The Glories of God’s Law
1 Happy are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Happy are those who keep his decrees,
who seek him with their whole heart,
3 who also do no wrong
but walk in his ways.
4 You have commanded your precepts
to be kept diligently.
5 O that my ways may be steadfast
in keeping your statutes!
6 Then I shall not be put to shame,
having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
7
I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous ordinances.
8
I will observe your statutes;
do not utterly forsake me.
2nd Scripture Reading – Matthew 5:21-37
Concerning Anger
21 “You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not murder,’ and
‘whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.’
22 But I say to you that if you are angry with a
brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment, and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be
liable to the council, and if you say, ‘You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell of fire. 23 So when you
are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something
against you, 24
leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or
sister, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you
are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge and the judge
to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will never get out until
you have paid the last penny.
Concerning Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
28 But I say to you that
everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one
of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand
causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members
than for your whole body to go into hell.
Concerning Divorce
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, causes
her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Concerning Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not swear falsely,
but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.’
34 But I say to you: Do not swear at all, either
by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem,
for it is the city of the great King. 36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one
hair white or black. 37 Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No’; anything more than this comes
from the evil one.
