Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fill in the blanks using what we know from “The Beatitudes” — a famous part of Jesus’ teaching in the Bible (Matthew 5:3–12). These are blessings for people who live with humility, kindness, and faith.
We’ll match each blank to the correct word or phrase based on the traditional wording of the Beatitudes.
---
1. Blessed are the _meek_: for they will _inherit the earth_.
→ This is straightforward. The meek (gentle, humble) will inherit the earth.
✔ Correct as written.
---
2. Blessed are the _pure in heart_: for they will _see God_.
→ Those with clean hearts (sincere, honest, loving) will see God.
✔ Correct as written.
---
3. Blessed are those who _hunger_ and _thirst_ for _righteousness_: for they will be _filled_.
→ People who deeply desire to do what’s right will be satisfied by God.
✔ Correct as written.
---
4. Blessed are the _poor in spirit_: for theirs is the _kingdom of heaven_.
→ “Poor in spirit” means recognizing you need God — not necessarily poor in money. They get God’s kingdom.
✔ Correct as written.
---
5. Blessed are the _peacemakers_: for they will be _called children of God_.
→ Those who help others make peace are seen as God’s own kids.
✔ Correct as written.
---
6. Blessed are the _merciful_: for they will _receive mercy_.
→ If you show mercy (forgiveness, kindness), you’ll receive it too.
✔ Correct as written.
---
7. Blessed are those who have been _persecuted_ for _righteousness’ sake_: for theirs is the _kingdom of heaven_.
→ Note: The original says “for righteousness’ sake” — meaning because they did what was right. Sometimes shortened to just “for righteousness,” but full version includes “sake.”
In your image, it says “for ___ righteousness ___” — so we can assume it’s implying “for righteousness’ sake.” But since the blank is only around “righteousness,” we’ll keep it as is.
Also, “kingdom of heaven” is correct.
✔ Mostly correct — minor note about “sake,” but acceptable for this level.
---
8. Blessed are those who _mourn_: for they will be _comforted_.
→ Those who grieve (over sin, loss, injustice) will be comforted by God.
✔ Correct as written.
