The parallel verse to that is in Matthew 5.
It says, ""Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "
The New Testament is replete with “poor in spirit”- The widow’s mite; the outcast lepers; the blind beggars; and of course the poor and helpless infant born in an animal manger.
By no account can one reach the “prosperity gospel” of the Osteens, Schullers, and Benny Hinns of this world as they decor-project with Hollywood vulgarity their version of the Bible and of course, truth be told, enormously enriching themselves and their families in the process.
