Matthew 5

¹And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him.

²And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:

³Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.

⁵Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

⁶Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

⁷Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

⁸Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.

⁹Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.

¹⁰Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:

¹²Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

¹³You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.

¹⁴You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.
