BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT

FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD (Matt.5:3)

The  word poor refers to humble, blessed are the humble

Humble: marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude or spirit, showing submission, respect

James & peter speak of Humbleness

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he will lift you up(James 4:10)

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due season (1Peter 5:6)

when we humble ourselves God will exalt, raising up in rank, character or status
