Quotes of Author: Richmond A. Lattimore
He is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation, because in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or lordships or realms or authorities. All things have been created through him and for him. And he is before all things and all things come together in him, and he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, first-born from the dead, to be first himself in all things, because all fulfillment has been well pleased to reside in him and through him to reconcile all things to him, establishing peace by the blood of his cross; whether it be the things on earth or the things in heaven. book-quoteBlessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are the pure in heart, because they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, because they shall be called the sons of God. 5.10-22Blessed are they who are persecuted for their righteousness, because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when they shall revile you and persecute you and speak every evil thing of you, lying, because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because your reward in heaven is great; for thus did they persecute the prophets before you. book-quote
