28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called
according to his purpose.

12 You should not gloat over your brother in the day of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people
of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast so much in the day of their trouble.

For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all
things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the
cross.

“1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

“1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and
utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
