God, the Lord, created the heavens and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath and life to everyone in all the world. And it is he who says,

When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of what he has experienced, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins.

Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

"So I tell you, don't worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food, drink, and clothes. Doesn't life consist of more than food and clothing?

And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

"God blesses those who realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.

God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.

Someone came to Jesus with this question: "Teacher, what good things must I do to have eternal life?"

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life."
