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

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

28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you.

29 And to him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not [to take thy] coat also.

30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask [them] not again.
