for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who are experiencing grief,
for they will receive comfort.
Blessed are they who do not presume upon others,
for the earth and its fullness will be there’s.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for goodness,
for they will have their reward.
Blessed is he and she who extend mercy,
for they will receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in spirit,
for they will enjoy God’s eternal presence.
Blessed are they who restore peace,
for they will be adopted by God.
Blessed are those who are treated poorly for goodness sake,
or they will inherit heaven.”
Matthew 5:1-12. From The McDonald Paraphrase of the New Testament
