Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.
21
Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.
22
Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake.
23
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.
24
But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation.
25
Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep.
26
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27
"But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28
bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
29
To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.
30
Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
