Matthew 5:1-6

1Jesus saw that crowds of people were following him. So he went up a hill and he sat down there to teach them. His disciples came near to listen to him.

2He began to teach them. This is what he said:

3‘Happy are the people who know that they need God very much. The kingdom of heaven belongs to people like that.

4Happy are the people who are sad now. God will come near to help them.

5Happy are the people who are kind. The whole earth will belong to them.

6Happy are the people who want to obey God, as much as they want to eat food. God will give to them everything that they need.
