Matthew 5:1-12 (NASB)

1 When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. 2 He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,

3 ā€œBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 ā€œBlessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

5 ā€œBlessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

6 ā€œBlessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

7 ā€œBlessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

8 ā€œBlessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

9 ā€œBlessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

10 ā€œBlessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 ā€œBlessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds ofevil against you because of Me.

12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
