This passage, known as the Beatitudes, are a series of blessings from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount that describe the qualities of people who are fortunate in the Kingdom of Heaven. The passage lists who is "blessed"—including the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, and those who hunger for righteousness—and explains the divine favor and reward they will receive, often in the form of inheriting the kingdom, receiving comfort, or being filled. These blessings are not about worldly happiness but describe a spiritual state of being that leads to true fulfillment.
