Matthew 5:10 Douay-Rheims

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Hilary of Poitiers

c. A.D. 310–367 Patristic

Thus, lastly, He includes those in the beatitude whose will is ready to suffer all things for Christ, who is our righteousness. For these then also is the kingdom preserved, for they are in the contempt of this world poor in spirit.
