5Happy the meek; for they shall inherit the earth[5].
6Happy they that hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled.
7Happy the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy.
8Happy the pure in heart; for they shall see God.
9Happy the peacemakers; for they shall be called sons of God.
10Happy they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Happy are ye, when they shall revile and persecute you, and shall say all evil against you falsely[11], for my sake. 12Rejoice, and exult; because great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
13Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.
14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill can not be hid. 15Nor do they light a lamp and put it under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand; and it shines to all that are in the house. 16Thus let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17Think not that I came to destroy the law, or the prophets; I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. 18For verily I say to you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall not pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
