BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN

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
