Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are they who sorrow, because they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, because they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness, because they shall be fed. Blessed are they who have pity, because they shall be pitied. 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.
