Luke 6:20-35
20And turningG1869 His gazeG3788 towardG1519 His disciplesG3101, He began to sayG3004, “1BlessedG3107 are 2you who are poorG4434, for 3yoursG5212 is the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 21BlessedG3107 are 4you who hungerG3983 nowG3568, for you shall be satisfiedG5526. BlessedG3107 are you who weepG2799 nowG3568, for you shall laughG1070. 225BlessedG3107 are you whenG3752 menG444 hateG3404 you, and 6ostracizeG873 you, and insultG3679 you, and scornG1544 your nameG3686 as evilG4190, for the sakeG1752 of the SonG5207 of ManG444. 23Be gladG5463 in that dayG2250 and 7leapG4640 for joy, for beholdG2400, your rewardG3408 is greatG4183 in heavenG3772. For 8in the sameG846 wayG2596 their fathersG3962 used to 9treatG4160 the prophetsG4396. 24But woeG3759 to 10you who are richG4145, for 11you are receivingG568 your comfortG3874 in fullG568. 25WoeG3759 to you who 12are well-fedG1705 nowG3568, for you shall be hungryG3983. WoeG3759 to you who laughG1070 nowG3568, for you shall mournG3996 and weepG2799. 26WoeG3759 to you whenG3752 allG3956 menG444 speakG3004 wellG2573 of you, for their fathersG3962 used to 13treatG4160 the 14falseG5578 prophetsG5578 in the sameG846 wayG2596.
27“But I sayG3004 to you who hearG191, 15loveG25 your enemiesG2190, doG4160 goodG2573 to thoseG3588 who hateG3404 you, 28blessG2127 thoseG3588 who curseG2672 you, 16prayG4336 for thoseG3588 who 17mistreatG1908 you. 2918Whoever hitsG5180 you on the cheekG4600, offerG3930 him the otherG243 alsoG2532; and whoever takesG142 awayG142 your 19coatG2440, do not withholdG2967 your 20shirtG5509 from him eitherG2532. 30GiveG1325 to everyoneG3956 who asksG154 of you, and whoever takesG142 awayG142 whatG3588 is yoursG4674, do not demandG523 it backG523. 312122TreatG4160 othersG444 the sameG3668 wayG3668 you wantG2309 23them to treatG4160 you. 3224IfG1487 you loveG25 thoseG3588 who loveG25 you, whatG4169 creditG5485 is that to you? For evenG2532 sinnersG268 loveG25 thoseG3588 who loveG25 them. 33IfG1437 you doG15 goodG15 to thoseG3588 who doG15 goodG15 to you, whatG4169 creditG5485 is that to you? For evenG2532 sinnersG268 doG4160 the sameG846. 3425IfG1437 you lendG1155 to those from whomG3739 you expectG1679 to receiveG2983, whatG4169 creditG5485 is that to you? EvenG2532 sinnersG268 lendG1155 to sinnersG268 in orderG2443 to receiveG618 backG618 the sameG2470 amount. 35But 26loveG25 your enemiesG2190, and doG15 goodG15, and lendG1155, 27expectingG560 nothingG3367 in returnG560; and your rewardG3408 will be greatG4183, and you will be 28sonsG5207 of 29the MostG5310 HighG5310; for He HimselfG846 is kindG5543 to ungratefulG884 and evilG4190 men.
