Matthew 5:1-12 ▼

1 And when he sawe the multitude, he went vp into a mountaine: and when he was set, his disciples came to him.

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

3 Blessed are the poore in spirit, for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.

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

5 Blessed are the meeke: for they shall inherite the earth.

6 Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousnes: for they shalbe filled.

7 Blessed are the mercifull: for they shal obteine mercie.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peace makers: for they shal be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.

11 Blessed shall ye be when men reuile you, and persecute you, & say all maner of euill against you for my sake, falsely.

12 Reioyce and be glad, for great is your reward in heauen: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you.
