In checking other documents I found that μακάριοιi could be translated as "worthy". This would correspond to the contrast being drawn by Jesus between the ones usually thought of as worthy to be in the kingdom of heaven--those that rigorously follow the traditions and laws of Judaism.

I was interested in Jesus' use of the term beggars in Mat 5:3 3. "Blessed ones, those beggars having the Spirit, in that theirs is heavens' kingdom." and if instead of "in Spirit" translating it as a dative possessive with the Spirit. This would be a shocking statement by Jesus to those who considered the beggars to be "ungodly" at the very least and cursed by God at the worst.
