9 Heureux ceux qui procurent la paix, car ils seront appelés fils de Dieu!

10 Heureux ceux qui sont persécutés pour la justice, car le royaume des cieux est à eux!

11 Heureux serez-vous, lorsqu’on vous outragera, qu’on vous persécutera et qu’on dira faussement de vous toute sorte de mal,à cause de moi.

12 Réjouissez-vous et soyez dans l’allégresse, parce que votre récompense sera grande dans les cieux; car c’est ainsi qu’on a persécuté les prophètes qui ont été avant vous.

13 Vous êtes le sel de la terre. Mais si le sel perd sa saveur, avec quoi la lui rendra-t-on? Il ne sert plus qu’à être jeté dehors, et foulé aux pieds par les hommes.
