Chapter III - I will instruct and teach thee - Comforting Scriptures
 

The kingdom of God

     

109

3

Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

110

4

Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

111

5

Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

112

6

Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

113

7

Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

114

8

Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

115

9

Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

116

10

Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

117

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.

118

12

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

119

13

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

120

14

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

   

St Matthew 5

     

121

50

Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

   

St Mark 9

     

122

15

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

   

St Luke 12

     

123

17

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

   

I Timothy 6

     

124

24

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

   

St Matthew 19

     

125

5

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

   

James 2

     

126

16

But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

   

St Luke 18

     

127

14

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

   

St Matthew 19

     

128

3

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

   

St John 3

     

129

21

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

   

St Luke 17

     

130

31

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

131

32

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

132

33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

133

34

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.

   

St Matthew 6

     

134

25

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

   

St Matthew 6

     

135

22

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

136

23

The life is more than meat, and the body [is more] than raiment.

137

24

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

138

25

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

139

26

If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

140

27

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

141

28

If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

142

29

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

143

30

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

144

31

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

145

32

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

   

St Luke 12

     

146

22

Confirming the souls of the disciples, [and] exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

   

The Acts 14

     

147

7

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

   

St Matthew 10
