  • "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." (5:5)

Salt and Light Metaphor

  • Salt that loses its saltiness is useless and should be discarded. (5:13)
  • Believers are the "salt of the earth," emphasizing their vital role in the world.
  • Light symbolizes good deeds meant to be visible to others, glorifying God. (5:16)
  • A city on a hill illustrates visibility and the impact of a faithful community.

The Law and Its Fulfillment

  • The Law remains until all is accomplished; not the smallest letter will vanish.
  • Those who practice and teach the commands will be called great in the kingdom.
  • Jesus focuses on intentions behind laws: anger equates to murder (5:21), and contempt can lead to judgment.

Adultery and Personal Conduct

  • Adultery extends beyond physical acts to include lustful thoughts. (5:27-28)
  • Emphasizes drastic measures to avoid sin (e.g., gouging out an eye if needed).
  • Divorce is permitted only on grounds of marital unfaithfulness, and those who divorce create adulterous conditions for others. (5:31-32)

Integrity of Speech

  • Encourages keeping oaths made to God rather than swearing by physical entities (5:33-36).
  • Advocates for straightforward communication—let your "yes" be yes and your "no" be no.
  • Adopts a non-retaliatory stance; turn the other cheek instead of seeking revenge. (5:38-39)
  • If forced to go one mile, offer to go two. (5:41)
  • Do not refuse those who wish to borrow from you; demonstrates generosity.

Love for Others

  • Commands love for enemies, echoing divine generosity towards all people. (5:44-45)
  • Challenges norms, highlighting that loving only those who love back is insufficient; even tax collectors do the same.

Call to Perfection

  • Encourages believers to strive for perfection, mirroring the completeness of the Heavenly Father. (5:48)
