Luke 6:27-36 - The Sermon On The Plain: Love For Enemies
27 But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you; 28 bless them that curse you; pray for them that abuse you. 29 To him that strikes you on one cheek, offer also the other; and from him that takes away your mantle, withhold not your coat. 30 Give to every one that asks of you; and of him that takes away your goods, ask them not again. 31 And as you would that men should do to you, do you also in like manner to them. 32 And if you love them that love you, what thanks have you? for even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to them that do good to you, what thanks have you? for even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to them from whom you hope to receive, what thanks have you? for even sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive the same. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind to the unthankful and the evil. 36 Be you, therefore, merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
