. 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto 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 they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. . 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. . 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. . 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 the children of God. . 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. . 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. . 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. . Matthew 5 ~ "The Beatitudes", Jesus Christ Speaking ~
