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/l0620-3
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. l0624-6
Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them:
else ye have no reward with your Father which is in heaven.
When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the
hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory
of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. m0601-2
And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand
and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be
seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. m0605
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for
they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say
unto you, They have received their reward. m0616
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust doth
consume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where
thieves do not break through nor steal: for where thy treasure is, there will
thy heart be also. m0619-21/l1322-4
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink, because ye are Christ's,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. And whosoever
shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it were
better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were
cast into the sea. k0941-2/l1701-2/m1806
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's
reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man
shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto
one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. m1041-2
Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that,
when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. He that
is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is
unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. If therefore ye have
not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the
true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who
will give you that which is your own? l1609-12
