Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [worlds] in Christ,

and if the house is worthy, your blessing shall come upon it; but if the house is not worthy, your blessing shall return to you.

and cried with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women! and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh.

Bless those that persecute, bless and curse not.

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

saying, Surely, blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you;

not returning evil for evil or railing for railing, but on the contrary blessing [your enemies], because to this you are called, that you may inherit blessing.
