The Beatitudes

1 And seeing the multitudes, aHe went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.  
2 Then He opened His mouth and ataught them, saying: 
3 “Blesseda are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
4 aBlessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted. 
5 aBlessed are the meek,
For bthey shall inherit the earth. 
6 Blessed are those who ahunger and thirst for righteousness,
bFor they shall be filled. 
7 Blessed are the merciful,
aFor they shall obtain mercy. 
8 aBlessed are the pure in heart,
For bthey shall see God. 
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
10 aBlessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  
11 a“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of bevil against you falsely for My sake.  
12 aRejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for bso they persecuted the prophets who were before you.  

Believers Are Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth; abut if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.  
14 a“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.  
15 Nor do they alight a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  
16 Let your light so shine before men, athat they may see your good works and bglorify your Father in heaven.  

Christ Fulfills the Law

17 a“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.  
18 For assuredly, I say to you, atill heaven and earth pass away, one1 jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
