The Be Attitudes (Beatitudes) "Attitudes that ought to be!"*

1. Blessed are the poor in spirit (humble) for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.*

5. Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy.
6. Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.
7. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called Sons of God.
8. Blessed are those who are persecuted for their righteousness for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

Don't Attitudes

1. Cursed are the prideful for theirs is the Kingdom of Hell.*
2. Cursed are those who rejoice in their sins for they will be ashamed.
3. Cursed are the insolent for they will lose everything.
4. Cursed are those who reject righteousness for they will not be satisfied.
5. Cursed are the unforgiving for they will not be forgiven. 
6. Cursed are the immoral for they will be separated from God forever.

8. Cursed are those who persecute the righteous for theirs is the Kingdom of Hell.

*These actually are quotes from my old pastor. He shared these first ones (and the quote) and it got me trying to rephrase the rest of them...during the rest of his sermon actually.
