Matthew 5:1-12

Noyes(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 who mourn; for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek; for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful; for they will obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart; for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they will be called sons of God. 10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men revile you, and persecute you, and say every thing that is bad against you, falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so did they persecute the prophets that were before you.
