Luke 6:25-35

25 "Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.

26 "Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the ¹false prophets in the same way.

27 "But I say to you who hear, ²love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 bless those who curse you, ³pray for those who mistreat you.

29 "⁴Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.

30 "Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

31 "⁵Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

32 "⁶If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

33 "If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

34 "⁷If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.

35 "But ⁸love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be ⁹sons of ¹⁰the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
