Luke 6:20
Douay-Rheims
And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
John of Damascus
(in lib. de Logic c. 49.) Those things which may be measured or numbered are used definitely, but that which from a certain excellence surpasses all measure and number we call great and much indefinitely; as when we say that great is the longsuffering of God.
