2  And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

 

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

 

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

 

5  Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

 

6  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

 

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