Luke 6:20-22
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
20 And solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy—[a]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and [b]to be envied) are you poor and [c]lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of God is yours!
21 Blessed (happy—[d]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and [e]to be envied) are you who hunger and seek with eager desire now, for you shall be filled and completely satisfied! Blessed (happy—[f]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and [g]to be envied) are you who weep and sob now, for you shall laugh!
22 Blessed (happy—[h]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and [i]to be envied) are you when people despise (hate) you, and when they exclude and excommunicate you [as disreputable] and revile and denounce you and defame and cast out and spurn your name as evil (wicked) on account of the Son of Man.
