Footnotes
- Matthew 5:5 They will … promised This is the meaning of these words in Ps. 37:11. Here, they probably refer to a spiritual “promised land,” but they can also mean “The earth will belong to them.”
Matthew 5:5
Living Bible
5 The meek and lowly are fortunate! for the whole wide world belongs to them.
