BLESSED ARE THE MEEK; FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH

And seeing the multitudes, he went up 

into a mountain: and when he was set, 

his disciples came unto him: And he 

opened his mouth, and taught them, 

saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: 

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they 

shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: 

for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are 

they which do hunger and thirst after 

righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall 

obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: 

for they shall see God. Blessed are the 

peacemakers: for they shall be called the 

children of God. Blessed are they which 

are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: 

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, 

and persecute you, and shall say all manner 

of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great 

is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted 

they the prophets which were before you.

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have 

lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? 

it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be 

cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Ye are the light of the world. A city 

that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it 

under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it 

giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they 

may see your good works, and glorify your 

Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5: 1-16
