When He saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain. And after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. Then He began to teach them, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit, For the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Blessed are those who mourn, For they will be comforted. Blessed are the humble, 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 the pure in heart, For they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, They will be called sons of God. Blessed are those persecuted Because of righteousness, For the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Blessed are they, Blessed are they. Kingdom of heaven, Theirs is the way. Blessed are they, Blessed are they. Merciful and pure, Peacemakers in His name. You are blessed When they insult you, When they persecute you, When they falsely say Every kind of evil against you Because of Me. Be glad. Rejoice. Because your reward is great In heaven. For that is how they persecuted The prophets Who were before you. Blessed are they, Blessed are they. When the world comes against you, Don't be afraid. Be glad. Rejoice. Your reward is great In heaven. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, How can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything But to be thrown out And trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill Cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp And puts it under a basket. Rather, On a lampstand. And it gives light For all who are in the house. You are the salt. You are the light. A city on a hill Cannot hide. Let your light shine. Let your light shine. Let them see your good works And glorify your Father. In the same way, Let your light shine before others, So that they may see Your good works And give glory To your Father In heaven. Don't think That I came to abolish The Law Or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish, But to fulfill. For truly I tell you: Until heaven and earth pass away, Not the smallest letter, Not one stroke of a letter, Will pass away from the Law Until all things Are accomplished. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those who mourn. Blessed are the humble. Blessed are those who hunger And thirst for righteousness. Blessed are the merciful. Blessed are the pure in heart. Blessed are the peacemakers. Blessed are those persecuted Because of righteousness. You are the salt. You are the light. Let your light shine Before others. Give glory To your Father In heaven. Until heaven and earth pass away... Not the smallest letter, Not one stroke of a letter, Will pass away... Until all things Are accomplished.
