Matthew 5:1-7
Matthew 5:1-7 NCV
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hill and sat down. His followers came to him, and he began to teach them, saying: “They are blessed who realize their spiritual poverty, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them. They are blessed who grieve, for God will comfort them. They are blessed who are humble, for the whole earth will be theirs. They are blessed who hunger and thirst after justice, for they will be satisfied. They are blessed who show mercy to others, for God will show mercy to them.
