15 Blessed are they who abandon
their worldly enjoyments; for they
shall be accepted of God.
16 Blessed are they who have
wives, as though they had them
not; for they shall be made angels
of God.
17 Blessed are they who tremble
at the word of God; for they
shall be comforted.
18 Blessed are they who keep
their baptism pure; for they shall
find peace with the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost.
19 Blessed are they who pursue
the wisdom or doctrine of Jesus
Christ; for they shall be called
the sons of the Most High.
20 Blessed are they who observe
the instructions of Jesus Christ;
for they shall dwell in eternal
light.
21 Blessed are they, who for the
love of Christ abandon the glories
of the world, for they shall judge
angels, and be placed at the right
hand of Christ, and shall not suffer
the bitterness of the last judgment.
22 Blessed are the bodies and souls
of virgins; for they are acceptable
to God, and shall not lose the reward
of their virginity; for the word of
their (heavenly) Father shall prove
effectual to their salvation in the
day of his Son, and they shall enjoy
rest for evermore.
