    Then he looked up at his disciples and said: Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
    Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.
    Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
    Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 6:20-22.
