Context

5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger 1  and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

Matthew 5:10

Context

5:10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

1 sn Those who hunger are people like the poor Jesus has already mentioned. The term has OT roots both in conjunction with the poor (Isa 32:6-7; 58:6-7, 9-10; Ezek 18:7, 16) or by itself (Ps 37:16-19; 107:9).
