Paul & Nietzsche on the Meek Beatitude

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5
 
"Although the Beatitude concerning the meek has been much praised
even by some non-Christians some view the admonition to meekness skeptically. 
Friedrich Nietzsche in On the Genealogy of Morals considered the verse to be embodying what he perceived as a slave morality.
Slave morality does not aim at exerting one's will by strength, but by careful subversion. It does not seek to transcend the masters, but to make them slaves as well." wiki
 
Paul: 
 ....knowing that your Master also is in heaven... Ephesians 6:9
