Meek

"Blessed are the lowly in mind, for they will possess the land.

Put on my yoke, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls,

But the product of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

with perfect humility and gentleness, with patience, lovingly bearing with one another,

So, if there is any appeal in our union with Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love, if we have any common share in the Spirit, if you have any tenderheartedness and sympathy,

So strip yourselves of everything impure and all the evils prevailing around you, and in humble spirit welcome the message which when rooted in your hearts is able to save your souls.

Listen, my dearly loved brothers. Has not God chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show by his noble living that his good deeds are done in humility, which wisdom prompts.

So once for all get rid of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all sorts of slander,

The poor

"Blessed are those who feel poor in spiritual things, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

the blind are seeing and the crippled are walking, the lepers are being healed and the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised and the poor are having the good news preached to them.

For consider, brothers, the way God called you; that not many of you, in accordance with human standards, were wise, not many influential, not many of high birth.

Let the poor brother of lowly station rejoice in his exalted station as a Christian,

Listen, my dearly loved brothers. Has not God chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

Rejoice

Finally, my brothers, continue to be glad that you are in union with the Lord. I am not tired of writing you the same things over and over: it means your safety.

By the help of the Lord always keep up the glad spirit; yes, I will repeat it, keep up the glad spirit.
