5 Blessed [are] the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed [are] those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

7 Blessed [are] the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

10 Blessed [are] those who suffer persecution for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.

11 Blessed are ye when [men] shall revile you and persecute [you] and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.

12 Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in the heavens; for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
