Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
All Commentaries on Matthew 5:10 Go To Matthew 5
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
In Luc., vi. 23: Otherwise; the first kingdom of heaven was promised to the Saints, in deliverance from the body; the second, that after the resurrection they should be with Christ. For after your resurrection you shall begin to possess the earth delivered from death, and in that possession shall find comfort.
