Blessings
"Blessed are you who are poor,for yours is the Kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who are hunger now,for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when men hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of man." Rejoice in that day and leap for joy because
great is your reward in heaven.For this is how their fathers treated the prophets."
Book of Luke 6: 20-23
A Tree and its Fruit
" No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes,
or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart,
and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow
of his heart his mouth speaks."
Book of Luke 6: 43-45
Woes
" But woe to you who are rich,for you have already received your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now,for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets. "
Book of Luke 6: 24-26
