Matthew 5:39-48

39ButG1161 IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771 notG3361 to resistG436 anG3588 evilG4190 person. If someoneG3748 slapsG4474 youG4771 onG1519 yourG4771 rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 to himG846 theG3588 otherG243 alsoG2532; 40 if someoneG3588 wantsG2309 to sueG2919 youG4771 andG2532 takeG2983 yourG4771 tunicG5509, let him haveG863 G846 your cloakG2440 as wellG2532; 41andG2532 if someoneG3748 forces you to goG29 G4771 oneG1520 mileG3400,1 goG5217 withG3326 himG846 twoG1417 miles.2 42GiveG1325 to theG3588 one who asksG154 youG4771, andG2532 do not turn away fromG654 G3361 theG3588 one who wantsG2309 to borrowG1155 fromG575 youG4771.

43You have heardG191 thatG3754 it was saidG2046, ‘LoveG25 yourG4771 neighborG4139’3 andG2532 ‘HateG3404 yourG4771 enemyG2190.’ 44ButG1161 IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771, loveG25 yourG4771 enemiesG2190 andG2532 prayG4336 forG5228 those whoG3588 persecuteG1377 youG4771,4 45thatG3704 you may beG1096 sonsG5207 ofG3588 yourG4771 FatherG3962 inG1722 heavenG3772 . He causesG393 HisG846 sun to riseG2246 onG1909 the evilG4190 andG2532 the goodG18, andG2532 sends rainG1026 onG1909 the righteousG1342 andG2532 the unrighteousG94. 46 IfG1437 you loveG25 thoseG3588 who loveG25 youG4771, whatG5101 rewardG3408 will you getG2192? Do notG3780 evenG2532 tax collectorsG5057 doG4160 theG3588 sameG846? 47AndG2532 ifG1437 you greetG782 onlyG3440 yourG4771 brothersG80, whatG5101 are you doingG4160 more than othersG4053? Do notG3780 evenG2532 GentilesG1482 doG4160 theG3588 sameG846?

48BeG1510 perfectG5046, thereforeG3767, asG5613 yourG4771 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 isG1510 perfectG5046.
