(Matthew 5.1-12)
20Jesus looked at his disciples and said,
“Happy are you poor;
the Kingdom of God is yours!
21“Happy are you who are hungry now;
you will be filled!
“Happy are you who weep now;
you will laugh!
22
1 P 4.14
“Happy are you when people hate you, reject you, insult you, and say that you are evil, all because of the Son of Man! 23
2 Ch 36.16; Ac 7.52
Be glad when that happens and dance for joy, because a great reward is kept for you in heaven. For their ancestors did the very same things to the prophets.
24“But how terrible for you who are rich now;
you have had your easy life!
25“How terrible for you who are full now;
you will go hungry!
“How terrible for you who laugh now;
you will mourn and weep!
26“How terrible when all people speak well of you; their ancestors said the very same things about the false prophets.
