Matthew 5:3 - "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Read this passage in the different translations to get a better meaning of the deep truth that Jesus was relaying:
God blesses those who realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them. (New Living Translation)
Spiritually prosperous are the destitute and helpless in the realm of the spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Wuest)
How happy are the humble-minded, for the kingdom of Heaven is theirs! (New Testament in Modern English)
Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! (Amplified Bible - Lockman)
