27 Aber ich sage euch, die ihr zuhört: Liebet eure Feinde; tut denen wohl, die euch hassen;
28 segnet die, so euch verfluchen und bittet für die, so euch beleidigen.
29 Und wer dich schlägt auf einen Backen, dem biete den anderen auch dar; und wer dir den Mantel nimmt, dem wehre nicht auch den Rock.
30 Wer dich bittet, dem gib; und wer dir das deine nimmt, da fordere es nicht wieder.
31 Und wie ihr wollt, daß euch die Leute tun sollen, also tut ihnen gleich auch ihr.
