Luke 6:20-35

20Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.

21Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.

22Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man’s sake.

23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

24“But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation.

25Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep.

26Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

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

28bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

29To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.

30Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.

31And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

32“But if 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.

34And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

35But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.
