Matthew 5

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.

4 Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek,*‘Meek’ is not ‘weak’, it is power under control. It was said of Moses that he was the meekest man in his time, precisely because he was also the most powerful. Jesus said of Himself that He was ‘meek’, and He was also powerful.

for they will inherit the earth.
