Poor

Ptochtos -Strong's number #4434

    reduced to beggary, begging, asking alms
    destitute of wealth, influence, position, honour
    lowly, afflicted, destitute of the Christian virtues and eternal riches
    helpless, powerless to accomplish an end
    poor, needy
    lacking in anything
    as respects their spirit
    destitute of wealth of learning and intellectual culture which the schools afford (men of this class most readily give themselves up to Christ's teaching and proved them selves fitted to lay hold of the heavenly treasure)
