Matthew 5:3-16

3Blessed areG1510 the poorG4434 in spiritG4151: for theirs isG1510 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.

4Blessed are they that mournG3996: for they shall be comfortedG3870.

5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inheritG2816 the earthG1093.

6Blessed are they that hungerG3983 and thirstG1372 after righteousnessG1343: for they shall be filledG5526.

7Blessed are the mercifulG1655: for they shall obtain mercyG1653.

8Blessed are the pureG2513 in heartG2588: for they shall seeG3708 GodG2316.

9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be calledG2564 sonsG5207 of GodG2316.

10Blessed areG1510 they that have beenG1510 persecutedG1377 for righteousness’ sakeG1752: for theirs isG1510 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 11Blessed areG1510 ye whenG3752 men shall reproach you, and persecuteG1377 you, and sayG3004 all manner of evilG4190 against you falsely, for my sakeG1752. 12RejoiceG5463, and be exceeding gladG5463: for greatG4183 is your rewardG3408 in heavenG3772: for so persecutedG1377 they the prophetsG4396 that were before you.

13Ye areG1510 the saltG217 of the earthG1093: but if the saltG217 have lost its savor, wherewith shall it beG1510 saltedG233? it isG1510 thenceforth good for nothing, but to beG1510 castG906 out and trodden under foot of menG444. 14Ye areG1510 the lightG5457 of the worldG2889. A cityG4172 setG2749 on a hillG3735 cannot beG1510 hidG2928. 15Neither do men light a lampG3088, and putG5087 it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the houseG3614. 16EvenG2532 so let your lightG5457 shineG2989 before menG444; that they may seeG3708 your goodG2570 worksG2041, and glorifyG1392 your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.
