Luke 6:20-35

20And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “1Blessed are 2you who are poor, for 3yours is the kingdom of God. 21Blessed are 4you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 225Blessed are you when men hate you, and 6ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. 23Be glad in that day and 7leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For 8in the same way their fathers used to 9treat the prophets. 24But woe to 10you who are rich, for 11you are receiving your comfort in full. 25Woe to you who 12are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to 13treat the 14false prophets in the same way.

27“But I say to you who hear, 15love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, 16pray for those who 17mistreat you. 2918Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your 19coat, do not withhold your 20shirt from him either. 30Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 312122Treat others the same way you want 23them to treat you. 3224If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 3425If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount. 35But 26love your enemies, and do good, and lend, 27expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be 28sons of 29the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
