Luke 6:28 In-Context

26 Woe to you, when all men shall bless you; after these things the fathers of them did to [false] prophets.

27 But I say to you that hear, love ye your enemies, do ye well to them that hated you [do ye well to them that hate you];

28 bless ye men that curse you, pray ye for men that defame you [pray ye for men that falsely challenge you].

29 And to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, show also the other [give also the other]; and from him that taketh away from thee a cloak [thy cloth], do not thou forbid the coat.

30 And give to each that asketh thee, and if a man taketh away those things that be thine [and he that taketh away those things that be thine], ask thou not again.
