“You’re blessed when you get
your inside world
—your mind and heart—put right.
Then you can see God
in the outside world.”
Matthew 5:8 THE MESSAGE (MSG)
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Matthew 5:8 NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV)
PURE- Greek: Katharos (clean, clear, pure)
HEART – Greek: Kardia (heart and mind)
But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
Matthew 15:18-19 (NIV)
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Exodus 20:17 (NIV)
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV)
