The merciful
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Hunger and thirst for righteousness
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
The poor in spirit
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
The Beatitudes
Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.
Emptiness and filling
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my
God.
Training in righteousness
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
Speak on behalf of those who suffer
At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.
Open and closed doors
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
