These Are The Ones God Considers Blessed And In Danger

20 And He, having lifted-up His eyes toward His disciples, was saying— “Blessed[a] are the poor ones, because the kingdom of God is yours. 21 Blessed are the ones hungering now, because you will be filled-to-satisfaction. Blessed are the ones weeping now, because you will laugh. 22 You are blessed whenever people hate you, and whenever they separate[b] you, and reproach you, and throw-out your name as evil because-of [c] the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice on that day and leap-for-joy, for behold— your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers were doing it in the same way to the prophets. 24 But woe to you rich ones, because you are receiving your comfort in full. 25 Woe to you, the ones having been filled now, because you will hunger. Woe— the ones laughing now, because you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe— when all people speak well of you. For their fathers were doing it in the same way to the false-prophets.
