Luke 6:20-35

20And He raised His eyes toward His disciples and began saying, “1Blessed are 2you who are poor, for 3yours is the kingdom of God. 21Blessed are 4you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are 5you who weep now, for you will laugh. 226Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they 78exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man. 23Rejoice on that day and 9jump for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers used to 10treat the prophets 11the same way. 24But woe to 12you who are rich, for 13you are receiving your comfort in full. 25Woe to you who 14are well-fed now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26Woe to you when all the people speak well of you; for their fathers used to 15treat the 16false prophets the same way.

27“But I say to you who hear, 17love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, 18pray for those who are abusive to you. 2919Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your 20cloak, do not withhold your 21tunic from him either. 30Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 312223Treat people the same way you want them to 24treat you. 3225If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 3426And if 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 27love your enemies and do good, and lend, expecting 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 people.
