Psalm 32:1

Even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God reckoneth righteousness, apart from works,

"Happy are the poor in spirit; because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "Happy are you, Simon Bar-Jonah; because flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father Who is in Heaven.

But He said, "Yea, rather, happy are those who hear the word of God, and keep it!"

Be it known to you, brethren, that through This One is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins;

Happy are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.
