'Bless' in the Bible

bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

God, [after he] had raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning each [of you] back from your wickedness!"

Bless those who persecute, bless and do not curse [them].

and we toil, working with our own hands. [When we are] reviled, we bless; [when we are] persecuted, we endure;

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

saying, "Surely {I will greatly bless} you, and {I will greatly multiply} you."

With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.
