Blessed are ye who weep now: because ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when the people may hate you, and when they may separate you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of man. read more.
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold your reward in heaven is great: for according to these things were their fathers accustomed to do to the prophets. Moreover woe unto you rich! because you exhaust your reward. Woe unto you who are full! because you shall hunger. Woe unto you who are now laughing because you shall weep and mourn. Woe unto you when all the people may speak well of you! because according to the same things their fathers were accustomed to do to the false prophets. But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies with divine love, and do good to those that hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you.

Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked. Therefore be ye merciful, as your Father is indeed merciful. And criticise not, and you can not be criticised. Condemn not, and you can not be condemned.

But why do you see the mote which is in the eye of your brother, and do not recognize the beam which is in your own eye? Or how are you able to say to your brother; Brother, permit me, I will cast out the mote which is in thine eye, yourself not seeing the beam which is in your own eye? O hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote which is in the eye of your brother.

He is like unto a man building a house, who dug and went down deep, and laid the foundation upon the rock: and there being a flood, the river broke against that house, and it was not able to shake it; for it was founded on the rock. But the one hearing and not doing, is like unto a man building his house upon the ground without a foundation; against which the river broke, and it fell immediately, and great was the fall of that house.
