Matthew 5-7

The Sermon on the Mount:
These blessed I like better.
Blessed are the:
Poor of spirit (humble) for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!
Are those who morn, for they shall be comforted!
Are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth!
Are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied!
Are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy!
Are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!
Are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons of God!
Are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for there's is the kingdom of heaven!

Love 7:2, 7:8
