- Blessed are the poor in spirit,
- for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are the meek,
- for they shall possess the earth.
- Blessed are they who mourn,
- for they shall be comforted.
- Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice,
- for they shall be satisfied.
- Blessed are the merciful,
- for they shall obtain mercy.
- Blessed are the clean of heart,
- for they shall see God.
- Blessed are the peacemakers,
- for they shall be called children of God.
- Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice' sake,
- for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are you when men reproach you, and persecute you,
- and speaking falsely, say all manner of evil against
you,
for My sake.
