Genesis 10-11 Matthew 5

Genesis 10-
Vs 25, I don't know what this meant??? One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.

Genesis 11-
Verses 5-7 The Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said, "if as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." I assume in verse 7 again God's talking with the holy spirit and Jesus!

Matthew 5-
Vs 11 and 12 stand out the most. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven.

We are the salt of the earth, don't lose your saltiness! We are the light of the word, a city on a hill can't be hidden. We don't put lights under a bowl! Give live to everyone!!! Let your light shine before men!!! (vs. 16)

If your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. There are warnings in this chapter against looking at women lustfully and also about divorcing spouses!!! (vs. 28 and 32).

Vs. 42 a good verse for generosity "Give to the one who asks you".

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (vs. 44)
