Luke 6:20-49

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. 3630Be mercifulG3629, justG2531 as your FatherG3962 is mercifulG3629.

37“31Do not judgeG2919, and you will not be judgedG2919; and do not condemnG2613, and you will not be condemnedG2613; 3233pardonG630, and you will be pardonedG630. 38GiveG1325, and it will be givenG1325 to you. They will 34pourG1325 35into your lapG2859 a 36goodG2570 measureG3358--pressedG4085 downG4085, shakenG4531 togetherG4531, and runningG5240 overG5240. For by your standardG3358 of measureG3354 it will be measuredG488 to you in returnG488.”

39And He alsoG2532 spokeG3004 a parableG3850 to them: “37A blindG5185 manG5185 cannotG1410G3385 guideG3594 a blindG5185 manG5185, can he? Will they not bothG297 fallG1706 into a pitG999? 4038A 39pupilG3101 is not aboveG5228 his teacherG1320; but everyoneG3956, after he has been fullyG2675 trainedG2675, will 40be likeG5613 his teacherG1320. 41WhyG5101 do you lookG991 at the speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788, but do not noticeG2657 the logG1385 that is in your ownG2398 eyeG3788? 42Or howG4459 canG1410 you sayG3004 to your brotherG80, ‘BrotherG80, letG863 me takeG1544 out the speckG2595 that is in your eyeG3788,’ when you yourselfG846 do not seeG991 the logG1385 that is in your own eyeG3788? You hypocriteG5273, firstG4413 takeG1544 the logG1385 out of your own eyeG3788, and thenG5119 you will seeG1227 clearlyG1227 to takeG1544 out the speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788. 4341For there is noG3756 goodG2570 treeG1186 which producesG4160 badG4550 fruitG2590, norG3761, 42on the otherG3825 handG3825, a badG4550 treeG1186 which producesG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 4443For eachG1538 treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its ownG2398 fruitG2590. For men do not gatherG4816 figsG4810 from thornsG173, norG3761 do they pickG5166 grapesG4718 from a briarG942 bushG942. 4544The goodG18 manG444 out of the goodG18 45treasureG2344 of his heartG2588 bringsG4393 forthG4393 whatG18 is goodG18; and the evilG4190 man out of the evilG4190 treasure bringsG4393 forthG4393 whatG4190 is evilG4190; 46for his mouthG4750 speaksG2980 from 47that whichG4051 fillsG4051 his heartG2588.

46“48WhyG5101 do you callG2564 Me, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962,’ and do not doG4160 whatG3739 I sayG3004? 4749EveryoneG3956 who comesG2064 to Me and hearsG191 My wordsG3056 and 50actsG4160 on them, I will showG5263 you whomG5101 he is likeG3664: 48he is likeG3664 a manG444 buildingG3618 a houseG3614, whoG3739 51dugG4626 deepG900 and laidG5087 a foundationG2310 on the rockG4073; and when a floodG4132 occurredG1096, the 52torrentG4215 burstG4366 againstG4366 that houseG3614 and couldG2480 not shakeG4531 it, becauseG1223 it had been wellG2573 builtG3618. 49But the one who has heardG191 and has not actedG4160 accordingly, is likeG3664 a manG444 who builtG3618 a houseG3614 on the groundG1093 withoutG5565 any foundationG2310; and the 53torrentG4215 burstG4366 againstG4366 it and immediatelyG2117 it collapsedG4844, and the ruinG4485 of that houseG3614 was greatG3173.”
