Luke 6:26

Happiness And Sorrow

²⁵ It is too bad for you people who have plenty to eat now, because you will be hungry [later on]. It is too bad for you people who are laughing now, because you will grieve and cry [later on]. ²⁶ It is too bad for you people when everyone speaks well about you, because the forefathers said the same thing about the false prophets. ²⁷ But I tell you people who are listening [to me], love your enemies and do good things to those who hate you.
