An Analysis of the Beatitudes in Matthew of the Bible_英语论文

摘要

圣经被认为是人类文明中最有影响力和最有价值的书。圣经包括两部分：旧约和新约。马太福音是新约的第一部分，主要是谈论耶稣的教义和教导。山上的讲道是马太福音的第一部分，也是最重要的一个方面，因为它汇编了八个耶稣的教导，为人们提供了正确行为的标准。

“天福”是每个人的愿望，但不同的人对祝福有不同的理解。旧约中有什么样的人会得到祝福呢（马太福音14:21）？在新约的四本福音书中，主耶稣讲了许多福音的真理。给予比得到更有福，这句话突出了这个真理的独特性和重要性，爱是耶稣山上布道的中心，爱比任何事情都重要，我们不仅要爱我们的邻居，还要爱我们的敌人，爱也是圣经的领袖。

其实，“天福”是指“精神福祉繁荣”。这与灵魂深处的喜悦有关。它包括贫穷，怜悯，哀悼，温柔，渴望正义，仁慈，纯洁，和平和受迫害者。从不同的角度来看待这八种福音的意思，人们有不同的理解。接下来我将通过对其背景，特点，含义和举例，以及其深刻的意义来研究分析关于“圣经”马太福音的八福，试图挖掘出更多有用的信息。
