Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ:

Bless them that persecute you; bless, and scold not.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

Since if you may bless with the spirit, how will one occupying the place of the unlearned say Amen to your blessing? since he does not know what you are saying.

saying, If indeed blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee:

not giving evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; because unto this you have been called, that you may inherit the blessing.

And the angel having come to her said; Hail, thou blessed one; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Blessed are ye who hunger now: because ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye who weep now: because ye shall laugh.
