Luke 6:22-32

22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and revile [you] and spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.

23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward [is] great in heaven. For their fathers used to do the same [things] to the prophets.

The Sermon on the Plain: Woes

24 "But woe to you who are rich, because you have received your comfort.

25 Woe to you who are satisfied now, because you will be hungry. Woe, you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep.

26 Woe whenever all people speak well of you, for their fathers used to do the same [things] to the false prophets.

The Sermon on the Plain: Love for Enemies

27 "But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

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

29 To the one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from the one who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic also.

30 Give to everyone who asks you, and from the one who takes away your things, do not ask for [them back].

31 And just as you want people {to do} to you, do {the same} to them.

32 "And if you love those who love you, what kind of credit is [that] to you? For even sinners love those who love them!
