Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 5New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

-
pure in heart: Inwardly clean, referring to moral and spiritual cleanness, including one’s affections, desires, and motives.
see God: Not necessarily to be understood literally, since “no man can see [God] and live.” (Ex 33:20) The Greek word used here for “see” can also mean “see with the mind, perceive, know.” Jehovah’s worshippers on earth thus “see God” by gaining insight into his personality through faith-building study of his Word and by observing his actions in their behalf. (Eph 1:18; Heb 11:27) When resurrected to spirit life, anointed Christians will actually see Jehovah “just as he is.”—1Jo 3:2.
