Translation:

Come, let yourselves be taught by the Lord and learned altogether who are those that belong to the right number of Christians. Those that confess with their mouth, believe firmly from the bottom of their heart, and strive to do good while they are living. Blessed are who have humility and who are always poor in spirit, boast about no single gift, that God is praised through them, thank him forever and ever, because the kingdom of heaven is theirs. God will sit there with those who consider themselves lowly.
