Luke 6:28 In-Context

26 Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers treat the false prophets.

27 But I say unto you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 bless those that curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you.

29 And unto the one that smites thee on the one cheek offer also the other, and to the one that takes away thy cloak defend not thy coat also.

30 Give to everyone that asks of thee, and of the one that takes away thy goods ask them not to return them.
