3 Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.4 Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.5 Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.6 Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.7 Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.8 Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.9 Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.10 Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.11 Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.12 Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.
