Luke 6:28 In-Context

26 Woe to you when men shall bless you: for according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies. Do good to them that hate you.
28 Bless them that curse you and pray for them that calumniate you.
29 And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every one that asketh thee: and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again.
