Luke 6:22

Happiness And Sorrow

²¹ You who are now hungry are blessed,
because you will be filled.
You who now weep are blessed,
because you will laugh.
²² You are blessed when people hate you,
when they exclude you, insult you,
and slander your name as evil
because of the Son of Man. ²³ “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! Take note—your reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.

Blessed are
