Blessed. Gr. makarioi, which may also be translated “happy.” The same Greek word is used in the Beatitudes (see on Matt. 5:3).

Iniquities. Gr. anomiai, literally, “lawlessnesses,” “violations of law.”

Sins. Gr. hamartiai, “failures,” “faults,” sins and deviations of all kinds.

Covered. Gr. epikalupto , literally, “covered as with a shroud,” “veiled.” The word occurs only here in the NT.
