Luke 6:19-31

19The whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.

20Then he looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God belongs to you.

21“Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22“Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil on account of the Son of Man!

23Rejoice in that day, and jump for joy, because your reward is great in heaven. For their ancestors did the same things to the prophets.

24“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your comfort already.

25“Woe to you who are well satisfied with food now, for you will be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26“Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for their ancestors did the same things to the false prophets.

27“But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other as well, and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your tunic either.

30Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask for your possessions back from the person who takes them away.

31Treat others in the same way that you would want them to treat you.
