This passage comes from Matthew 5:3-12. It is a famous lesson from Jesus known as the “Beatitudes”. The passage is below, and I have some other links to some previous posts that I have outlined the different verses.

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,For they shall be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
