Sermon on the mount

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

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

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

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

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain
mercy.

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

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall
be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you,
and persecute you, and shall say all manner
of evil against you falsely: for my sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is
your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they
the prophets which were before you.

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt
have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast
out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is
set on a hill cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a candle and put it
under a bushell, but on a candlestick; and it
giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your works, and glory works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Think not that I am come to destroy the
law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfil.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in
no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
