Luke 6:27-36 - The Sermon On The Plain: Love For Enemies
27 But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you; 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who wantonly insult you. 29 To him that smiteth thee on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who would take from thee thy cloak, withhold not thy coat also. 30 And give to every one that asketh thee; and from him who would take thy goods, demand them not again. 31 And as ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them in like manner. 32 And if ye love them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? do not even sinners the same thing? 34 And if ye lend to those, from whom ye hope to receive back again, what thanks are due to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive an equivalent. 35 But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Most High; for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the wicked. 36 Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate.
