Luke 6:28 In-Context

26 "Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!

27 "But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies; seek the welfare of those who hate you;

28 bless those who curse you; pray for those who revile you.

29 To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also.

30 To every one who asks, give; and from him who takes away your property, do not demand it back.
