Blessed are the Merciful

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church from the book of Matthew: 

Matthew 5:7

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. (New Revised Standard Version) 

Happy are people who show mercy, because they will receive mercy. (Common English Bible) 

Happy are the merciful, for they will have mercy shown to them! (J. B. Phillips) 

Wonderful news for the merciful! You’ll receive mercy yourselves. (New Testament for Everyone) 

You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being “care-full,” you find yourselves cared for. (The Message) 

This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
