5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:
5:2 and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
5:6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
5:10 Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11 Blessed are ye when `men' shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
