rsv@Luke:6:27 @ "But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
rsv@Luke:6:28 @ bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
rsv@Luke:6:29 @ 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.
rsv@Luke:6:30 @ Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again.
rsv@Luke:6:31 @ And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.
rsv@Luke:6:32 @ "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
rsv@Luke:6:33 @ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
rsv@Luke:6:34 @ 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.
rsv@Luke:6:35 @ 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.
rsv@Luke:6:36 @ Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
