blessed are the spiritually poor - the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
blessed are those who mourn, who weep about sin and long for how things are supposed to be - they will be comforted.
blessed are the meek and gentle - they will inherit the earth.
blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness - they will be filled.
blessed are the merciful - they will be shown mercy.
blessed are those who are pure in heart - they will see God.
blessed are the peacemakers - they will be called children of God.
blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness - the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
matthew 5:3-10
