Luke:6:27-36

* "
But I tell you who hear :
love your enemies ,
do good to those who hate you ,
*
bless those who curse you ,
and pray for those who mistreat you .
*
To him who strikes you on the cheek ,
offer also the other ;
and from him who takes away your cloak ,
don '
t withhold your coat also .
*
Give to everyone who asks you ,
and don '
t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again .
* "
As you would like people to do to you ,
do exactly so to them .
*
If you love those who love you ,
what credit is that to you ?
For even sinners love those who love them .
*
If you do good to those who do good to you ,
what credit is that to you ?
For even sinners do the same .
*
If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive ,
what credit is that to you ?
Even sinners lend to sinners ,
to receive back as much .
*
But love your enemies ,
and do good ,
and lend ,
expecting nothing back ;
and your reward will be great ,
and you will be children of the Most High ;
for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil .
*
Therefore be merciful ,
even as your Father is also merciful .
