From the Bible, Matthew 5:9
He
said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed
are those who mourn,
for
they will be comforted.
5 Blessed
are the meek,
for
they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness,
for
they will be filled.
7 Blessed
are the merciful,
for
they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the
pure in heart,
for
they will see God.
9 Blessed are the
peacemakers,
for
they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those
who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult
you,
persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil
against you
because of me.
12 Rejoice and be glad,
because great is your reward in heaven, for in
the same way they persecuted the
prophets who were before you. |
