Mt 5, 10English original
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Thus, lastly, He includes those in the beatitude whose will is ready to suffer all things for Christ, who is our righteousness. For these then also is the kingdom preserved, for they are in the contempt of this world poor in spirit.
