Matthew 5:1-12 - The Sermon On The Mount: The Beatitudes

¹ And seeing great masses of people he went up into the mountain; and when he was seated his disciples came to him. ² And with these words he gave them teaching, saying,

³ Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. ⁴ Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted. ⁵ Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage. ⁶ Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire. ⁷ Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy. ⁸ Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God. ⁹ Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God. ¹⁰ Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.

¹¹ Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me. ¹² Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.
