  1. Luke 6:20 Christ teacheth against all Philosophers, and especially the Epicureans, that the chiefest felicity of man is laid up in no place here on earth, but in heaven: and that persecution for righteousness’ sake, is the right way unto it.

21 Blessed are you who hunger now,

Blessed are you who weep now,
    for you will laugh.(E)
