Working On Pronunciation
3. Now listen to me read each phrase of verses 7-8, and then say each phrase after me.
μακάριοι οἱ ἐλεήμονες, (blessed [are] the merciful)
ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐλεηθήσονται. (because they shall receive mercy)
μακάριοι οἱ καθαροὶ (blessed [are] the pure)
ὅτι αὐτοὶ τὸν θεὸν ὄψωνται. (because they shall see God)
