3
Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens.
4
Blessed they that mourn, for *they* shall be comforted.
5
Blessed the meek, for *they* shall inherit the earth.
6
Blessed they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for *they* shall be filled.
7
Blessed the merciful, for *they* shall find mercy.
8
Blessed the pure in heart, for *they* shall see God.
9
Blessed the peace-makers, for *they* shall be called sons of God.
10
Blessed they who are persecuted on account of righteousness, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens.
11
Blessed are ye when they may reproach and persecute you, and say every wicked thing against you, lying, for my sake.
