Luke 6:20-22

New International Reader's Version

“Blessed are you who are needy.
    God’s kingdom belongs to you.
²¹ Blessed are you who are hungry now.
    You will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who are sad now.
    You will laugh.
²² Blessed are you when people hate you,
    when they have nothing to do with you
    and say bad things about you,
    and when they treat your name as something evil.
        They do all this because you are followers of the Son of Man.
