Matthew 5:1-12

Anderson(i) 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to 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 Bless ed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness; for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful; for they shall receive mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called sons of God. 10 Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you, when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account. 12 Rejoice, and leap for joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so did they persecute the prophets who were before you.
