Matthew 5:1
Now when He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,

2 and he began to teach them saying:

3 “Blessed are the *poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (*"God blesses those who realize their need for him)

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

5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

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

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted *because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (*Other translations say "for my name's sake")
