Mat 5:3-12, Joh 7:17, Rom 4:6-9, Gal 3:9, 14, Eph 1:3, 1Pe 3:9 | ESV | STEP | Blessed are the poor in spirit , for theirs is the kingdom of heaven .

3 ^a“Blessed are ^bthe poor in spirit, for ^ctheirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 “Blessed are ^dthose who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

11 ^r“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely ^son my account. 12 ^tRejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for ^uso they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

John 7:17

17 ^vIf anyone’s will is to do God’s ^{▼▼Greek his} will, ^xhe will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I ^yam speaking on my own authority.

Romans 4:6-9

6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

7 ^z“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered;
8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not ^aacount his sin.”
9 Is this blessing then only for ^abthe circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? ^acFor we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.

Galatians 3:9

9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Galatians 3:14

14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might ^adcome to the Gentiles, so that ^aewe might receive ^afthe promised Spirit ^{▼▼Greek receive the promise of the Spirit} through faith.
