The Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit:  for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn:  for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek:  for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness:  for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful:  for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart:  for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:  for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake:  for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad:  for great is your reward in heaven:  for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
—    Matthew 5:3-12
