2 Happy are they who mourn; for they shall receive consolation.
He who shall overcome, shall not be offended with the second death.
3 Happy are the meek; for they shall inhabit the earth by right of
inheritance.
To him who shall overcome, I will give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone, and to the stone a new written name,
which none knows but he who receives it.
4 Happy are they who hunger and thirst after justice; for they shall be
satiated.
He that shall overcome, and shall have observed my works to the
end, I shall give him power over the nations; and he shall govern
them with an iron rod, and they shall be broken to pieces like the
vessels of the potter. As I have also received from my father. And I
will give him the morning star.
5 Blessed are the merciful; for they shall have mercy shown them.
He that shall overcome shall be thus clothed in white garments: and I
will not blot his name out of the book of life: and I will confess his
name before my father and before his angels.
6 Blessed are they who are clean of heart; for they shall see God.
He that shall overcome, I will make him become a pillar in the
temple of my God; and he shall go forth no more; and I will write
upon him the name of the city of my God, which is the new
Jerusalem, which descends from Heaven from before my God; and
my new name.
7 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of
God.
He that shall overcome, I will make him sit with me in my throne: as
I have also overcome, and am seated with my father on his throne.
