Blessed are the pure in heart

• Beattitudes

Pure heart
Who may ascend the hill of the LORD ?        Who
may stand in his holy place?   He who has clean
hands and a pure heart,        who does not lift
up his soul to an idol        or swear by what
is false. Psalm 243-4
3
Pure Prayer
 "And when you pray, do not be like the
hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and on the street corners to be seen
by men. I tell you the truth, they have received
their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into
your room, close the door and pray to your
Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees
what is done in secret, will reward you. And when
you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans,
for they think they will be heard because of
their many words. Do not be like them, for your
Father knows what you need before you ask
him. Matthew 65-8
4
Pure Acts of Righteousness
 "Be careful not to do your 'acts of
righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If
you do, you will have no reward from your Father
in heaven. Matthew 61
5
Purely for Show
 While all the people were listening, Jesus said
to his disciples, "Beware of the teachers of the
law. They like to walk around in flowing robes
and love to be greeted in the marketplaces and
have the most important seats in the synagogues
and the places of honor at banquets. They devour
widows' houses and for a show make lengthy
prayers. Such men will be punished most
severely. Luke 2045-47
6
Pure Selfishness
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought
in a woman caught in adultery. They made her
stand before the group and said to Jesus,
"Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of
adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone
such women. Now what do you say?" 6They were
using this question as a trap, in order to have a
basis for accusing him. John 83-6
7
Pure Eyes
 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit
adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks
at a woman lustfully has already committed
adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 527-28
8
Pure Wisdom
  His intent was that now, through the church,
the manifold wisdom of God should be made known
to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly
realms, according to his eternal purpose which he
accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians
310-11
9
Pure Repentance
 "When they sin against youfor there is no one
who does not sinand you become angry with them
and give them over to the enemy, who takes them
captive to a land far away or near and if they
have a change of heart in the land where they are
held captive, and repent and plead with you in
the land of their captivity and say, 'We have
sinned, we have done wrong and acted wickedly'
and if they turn back to you with all their heart
and soul in the land of their captivity where
they were taken, and pray toward the land you
gave their fathers, toward the city you have
chosen and toward the temple I have built for
your Name then from heaven, your dwelling
place, hear their prayer and their pleas, and
uphold their cause. And forgive your people, who
have sinned against you. 2 Chronicles 636-39
10
Pure Forgiveness
 Rend your heart        and not your garments.
       Return to the LORD your God,        for
he is gracious and compassionate,        slow to
anger and abounding in love,        and he
relents from sending calamity. Joel 213
11
Pure Strength
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may
strengthen you with power through his Spirit in
your inner being, Ephesians 316
