From the
Amplified Bible:
Blessed --
happy, blithesome, joyous, spiritually prosperous [that is with life-joy and
satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward
conditions] -- are the meek (the mild, patient, long-suffering), for they shall
inherit the earth!
[Matthew 5.5]
This is the
third of a series on the Beatitudes.
~Blessed are the poor in spirit
~Blessed are
those who mourn
