Blessed are they who mourn; for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek; for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they will be filled.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men revile you, and persecute you, and say every thing that is bad against you, falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so did they persecute the prophets that were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth. But if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall itself be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men. Ye are the light of the world.

In like manner let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
