And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [are] ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

21

Blessed [are] ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are] ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

22

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

23

Rejoice in that day, and leap [for joy]: for behold, your reward is great in heaven for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

24

But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

25

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.

26

Woe [unto you], when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets.
