Matthew 5:3-11

Twentieth_Century(i) 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 Blessed are the mourners, for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall find 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 those who have been persecuted in the cause of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 11 Blessed are you when people taunt you, and persecute you, and say everything evil about you--untruly, and on my account.
