pois o reino dos céus lhes pertence.
4 Felizes os que choram,
pois serão consolados.
5 Felizes os humildes,

pois serão saciados.
7 Felizes os misericordiosos,
pois serão tratados com misericórdia.
8 Felizes os que têm coração puro,
pois verão a Deus.
9 Felizes os que promovem a paz,

10 Felizes os perseguidos por causa da justiça,
pois o reino dos céus lhes pertence.
11 "Felizes são vocês quando, por minha causa, sofrerem zombaria e perseguição, e quando outros, mentindo, disserem todo tipo de maldade a seu respeito. 12 Alegrem-se e exultem, porque uma grande recompensa os espera no céu. E lembrem-se de que os antigos profetas foram perseguidos da mesma forma."
