Matthew 5:1-12

[1]When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. [2]Then he began to speak, 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 will be comforted. 

[5]"Blessed are the meek, for they will 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 receive mercy. 

[8]"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 

[9]"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 

[10]"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

[11]"Blessed are you when people 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 in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
