Matthew 5:1-12
11Now when Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on 2the 3mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. 2And 4He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,
3“56Blessed are the poor in spirit, for 7theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4“Blessed are 8those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5“Blessed are 9the 10gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6“Blessed are 11those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
7“Blessed are 12the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8“Blessed are 13the pure in heart, for 14they will see God.
9“Blessed are the peacemakers, for 15they will be called sons of God.
10“Blessed are those who have been 16persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for 17theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11“Blessed are you when people 18insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for 19in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
