Context of Luke 6:29
27But to you that hear I say, Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you; 28bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully. To him that smites thee on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him that would take away thy garment, forbid not thy body-coat also. 30To every one that asks of thee, give; and from him that takes away what is thine, ask it not back. 31And as ye wish that men should do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.
