Luke 6:23-33

23 "Be glad in that day and ¹leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For ²in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

24 "But woe to ³you who are rich, for ⁴you are receiving your comfort in full.

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 ⁵false prophets in the same way.

27 "But I say to you who hear, ⁶love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 bless those who curse you, ⁷pray for those who mistreat you.

29 "⁸Whoever 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 "⁹Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

32 "¹⁰If 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.
