Matthew 5:39-48

39but I sayG3004 unto you, ResistG436 not him that is evilG4190: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 to him the otherG243 alsoG2532. 40And if any man would go to lawG2919 with thee, and takeG2983 away thy coat, let him have thy cloakG2440 alsoG2532. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to goG5217 oneG1520 mile, goG5217 with him twoG1417. 42GiveG1325 to him that asketh thee, and from him that wouldG2309 borrow of thee turnG654 not thou awayG654.

43Ye have heardG191 that it was said, Thou shalt loveG25 thy neighbor, and hateG3404 thine enemyG2190: 44but I sayG3004 unto you, LoveG25 your enemiesG2190, and prayG4336 for them that persecuteG1377 you; 45that ye may be sonsG5207 of your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772: for he maketh his sunG2246 to rise on the evilG4190 and the goodG18, and sendeth rainG1026 on the justG1342 and the unjustG94. 46For if ye loveG25 them that loveG25 you, what rewardG3408 have ye? do not evenG2532 the publicans the sameG846? 47And if ye salute your brethren onlyG3440, what do ye more than others? do not evenG2532 the Gentiles the sameG846? 48Ye thereforeG3767 shall beG1510 perfectG5046, as your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 isG1510 perfectG5046.
