The Beatitudes

²⁰ And He raised His eyes toward His disciples and began saying, “^(A)Blessed are ^[a]you who are poor, for ^(B)yours is the kingdom of God. ²¹ Blessed are ^[b]you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are ^[c]you who weep now, for you will laugh. ^22 (C)Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they ^[d](D)exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man. ²³ Rejoice on that day and ^(E)jump for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers used to ^[e]treat the prophets ^(F)the same way. ²⁴ But woe to ^(G)you who are rich, for ^(H)you are receiving your comfort in full. ²⁵ Woe to you who ^[f]are well-fed now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. ²⁶ Woe to you when all the people speak well of you; for their fathers used to ^[g]treat the ^(I)false prophets the same way.

²⁷ “But I say to you who hear, ^(J)love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, ²⁸ bless those who curse you, ^(K)pray for those who are abusive to you.
