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 | |
