Servanthood Series – Lesson Two: Portrait Of A Servant

⁷ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
¹⁶ And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

¹⁷ But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

³ Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

¹ Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

¹ A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

²⁴ Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

³² He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

²⁸ He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

²⁵ He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.

¹⁰ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
