Matthew 5:1-8

1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto a mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

5 "Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the earth.

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

7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
