Matthew 5:7-10

New Living Translation

7 God blesses those who are merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.

8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
    for they will see God.

9 God blesses those who work for peace,
    for they will be called the children of God.

10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
    for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
