3 "Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed [are] the ones who mourn, because they will be comforted.

5 Blessed [are] the meek, because they will inherit the earth.

6 Blessed [are] the ones who hunger and thirst [for] righteousness, because they will be satisfied.
