9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.
12 Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in the heavens; for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its savour, with what shall it be salted? From then on it is good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city set upon a mountain cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on the lampstand, and it gives light unto all that are in the house.
