Luke:6:27-36

* "
But to you who are listening to me I say ,
Love your enemies ,
do good to those who hate you ,
*
Bless those who curse you ,
pray for those who calumniate you .
*
To him who gives you a blow on the jaw Turn the other jaw also ;
And from him who is robbing you of your cloak Withhold not your coat also .
*
Give to every one who asks you ;
And do not demand your goods back from him who is taking them away .
*
And as you would like men to do to you ,
So do you also to them .
* "
If you love those who love you what credit is it to you ?
Why even sinners love those who love them .
* "
And if you are kind to those who are kind to you ,
what credit is it to you ?
Even sinners do the same .
* "
And if you lend to those from whom you are hoping to receive ,
what credit is that to you ?
Even sinners lend to sinners ,
so as to get as much back .
* "
But you must love even your enemies and be kind to them ,
And lend ,
despairing of no man .
Then your reward will be great ,
And you will be the sons of the Most High ;
For he is kind even to the ungrateful and to the evil .
* "
Do you therefore be merciful ,
As your Father is merciful .
