Blessing

27God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

28God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

3God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.

2He created them male and female, and blessed them. On the day they were created, he named them “Adam”.

29Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow on you a blessing this day.”

1Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

3Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

11By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

26People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

7A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

9He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor.

8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

10Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

11“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

14Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

29I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

10Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

6Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.
