Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 10a Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
- B 10b for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
  - C 11a Blessed are ye,
    - D 11b when men shall revile you,
      - E CENTER: 11c and persecute you,
    - D' 11d and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
  - C' 12a Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
- B' 12b for great is your reward in heaven:
A' 12c for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
