Dr. Nicholas Wolterstorff, Author and Professor of Philosophical Theology Emeritus at Yale University, gives a powerful argument that modern translations miss the emphasis of the Greek text when they translate a Classical Greek word for Justice with the English word Righteousness and demonstrates why he thinks Jesus' words on the Sermon on the Mount are better rendered, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for justice's sake (for fighting injustice)." http://askquestions.tv
