VerseryRhymes: The Gospels

I am translating the New Testament verse-by-verse in Rhyme. I have finished the Gospels, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, James and Revelation. I will blog a portion daily. I also run a website: Selfpublishedbookstore.com where I market and sell the books of over 50 authors. I will also share excerpts from some of their books.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit
And blessed are those who grieve
For the kingdom of heaven is theirs
And comfort they’ll receive

Blessed are the meek
Although they feel they have no worth
God will show them favor
And they will inherit the earth

Blessed are those who desire what is right
Fulfillment they will find
Blessed are those who show mercy
For they shall be treated in kind

Blessed are the pure in heart
It is God they will view
And you will be called sons of God
If peace is what you pursue

Blessed are those who are persecuted
For what they know is right
They may insult and ridicule you
And falsely seek to indict

Rejoice and be glad because in heaven
Great is the reward you are due
For in the same way they also persecuted
The prophets who were before you”
-          Matthew 5
