They who are deeply concerned are God’s people, for they will see their ideas become reality.
They who are gentle are God’s people, for they will be his partners across the land.
They who have an unsatisfied appetite for the right are God’s people, for they will be given plenty to chew on.
The generous are God’s people, for they will be treated generously.
They whose motives are pure are God’s people, for they will have spiritual insight.
Men of peace and goodwill are God’s people, for they will be known throughout the land as His children.
—Clarence Jordan’s Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John
