MATTHEW 5 : 3-12

3"Blessed is the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will 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 will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted
because of righteouness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are you when people insult you,
persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil
against you beacause of me. 12 Rejoice and be
glad, because great is your reward in heaven,
for in the same way they persecuted the
prophets who were before you."
