* "
But I say to you that hear ,
Love your enemies ,
do good to those who hate you ,
*
bless those who curse you ,
pray for those who abuse you .
*
To him who strikes you on the cheek ,
offer the other also ;
and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt .
*
Give to every one who begs from you ;
and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again .
*
And as you wish that men would do to you ,
do so to them .
* "
If you love those who love you ,
what credit is that to you ?
For even sinners love those who love them .
*
And if you do good to those who do good to you ,
what credit is that to you ?
For even sinners do the same .
*
And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive ,
what credit is that to you ?
Even sinners lend to sinners ,
to receive as much again .
*
But love your enemies ,
and do good ,
and lend ,
expecting nothing in return ;
and your reward will be great ,
and you will be sons of the Most High ;
for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish .
*
Be merciful ,
even as your Father is merciful .
