THE
BEATITUDES
Blessed are
the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are
the meek: for they shall possess the land.
Blessed are
they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are
they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have
their fill.
Blessed are
the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are
the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are
the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are
they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are
ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak
all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven.
