Matthew 5: 1 - 12
|
| 1 | Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. |
| 2 | And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: |
| 3 | "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| 4 | "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. |
| 5 | "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. |
| 6 | "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. |
| 7 | "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. |
| 8 | "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. |
| 9 | "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. |
| 10 | "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| 11 | "Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. |
| 12 | Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you. |
