Blessed are the poor is spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled
Blessed are teh mercifu,
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 sons of GoD
Blessed are those who are presecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
