And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Blessed [i]are[/i] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed [i]are[/i] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed [i]are[/i] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed [i]are[/i] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed [i]are[/i] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed [i]are[/i] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed [i]are[/i] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed [i]are[/i] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when [i]men[/i] shall revile you, and persecute [i]you[/i], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [i]is[/i] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
- Matthew 5:1-12(KJV)
