15 JUDGMENT & SALVATION (cont'd)
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be
filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all
manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding
glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets
which were before you.
m0503-12/l0620-23
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Woe
unto you, ye that are full now! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you, ye that
laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak
well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went
out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had
agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the
marketplace idle; and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went
out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the
eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them,
Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath
hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard. And when even was
come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and
pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they
came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they
likewise received every man a penny. And when they received it, they murmured
against the householder, saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou
hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the
scorching heat. But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no
wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take up that which is thine,
and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it
not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil,
because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last. m2001-16
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given;
and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he
thinketh he hath.
l0818/k0424-5/m1312
I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him
that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
