CHILDREN OF GOD

Matthew 5:1-13

And seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set,
his disciples came unto him: *1

And he opened his mouth,
and taught them, saying, *2

Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. *3

Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted. *4

Blessed are the meek:
for they shall
inherit the earth. *5

Blessed are they which do
hunger and thirst
after righteousness:
for they shall be filled. *6

Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy. *7

Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God. *8

Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called
the children of God. *9

Blessed are they which are persecuted
for righteousness sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. *10

Blessed are ye, when men
shall revile you, and
persecute you, and shall say all manner
of evil against you falsely, for my sake. *11

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets
which were before you. *12

Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt
has lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth
good for nothing,
but to be cast out,
and to be trodden
under the foot of men. *13

Matthew 8:10-13

When Jesus heard it, he marveled,
and said to them that followed,
Verily I say unto you,
I have not found so great faith,
no, not in Israel. *10

And I say unto you,
That many shall come
from the east and west,
and shall sit down with Abraham,
and Isaac, and Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven. *11

But the children of the kingdom
shall be cast out into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth. *12

And Jesus said unto the centurion,
Go thy way; and as thou hast believed,
so be it done unto thee. And his servant
was healed in the selfsame hour. *13
