Luke 6:18-28

18 Those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being healed;
19 and the whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power kept going out from him, healing everyone.
20 He looked at his talmidim and said: "How blessed are you poor! for the Kingdom of God is yours.
21 "How blessed are you who are hungry! for you will be filled. "How blessed are you who are crying now! for you will laugh.
22 "How blessed you are whenever people hate you and ostracize you and insult you and denounce you as a criminal on account of the Son of Man.
23 Be glad when that happens; yes, dance for joy! because in heaven your reward is great. For that is just how their fathers treated the prophets.
24 "But woe to you who are rich, for you have already had all the comfort you will get!
25 "Woe to you who are full now, for you will go hungry! "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and cry!
26 "Woe to you when people speak well of you, for that is just how their fathers treated the false prophets!
27 Nevertheless, to you who are listening, what I say is this: "Love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
