21
Blessed
are those that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed
are those that weep now, for ye shall laugh.
22
Blessed are ye when men shall hate you and when they shall separate you
from their company and shall reproach
you and cast out your name as evil for the sake of the Son of man.
23
Rejoice ye in that day and leap for joy; for, behold, your reward
is great in heaven, for their fathers treated the prophets in the same manner.
24
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25
Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
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.
31
And as ye desire that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
