Matthew 5:1-7

1 Seeing the multitude of people, Jesus went up the Hill. There He seated Himself, and when His disciples came to Him,

2 He proceeded to teach them, and said:

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.

4 "Blessed are the mourners, for they shall be comforted.

5 "Blessed are the meek, for they as heirs shall obtain possession of the earth.

6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied.

7 "Blessed are the compassionate, for they shall receive compassion.
