because it is they who will inherit the earth!

because it is they who will be satisfied!
7 “How blessed are those who are merciful,

because it is they who will be called God’s children!

because the kingdom from[f] heaven belongs to them!
11 “How blessed are you whenever people[g] insult you, persecute you, and say all sorts of evil things against you falsely[h] because of me! 12 Rejoice and be extremely glad, because your reward in heaven is great! That’s how they persecuted the prophets who came before you.”
