Luke 6:20–49

²⁰And ^xhe lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,

^yBlessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

²¹Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.

Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

²²Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they ^zshall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. ²³Rejoice ye in that day, and leap ^afor joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

^24bBut woe unto you that are ^crich! for ye ^dhave received your ^econsolation.

²⁵Woe unto you that are full! for ^fye shall hunger.

Woe unto you ^gthat laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

²⁶Woe unto you, ^hwhen all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the ⁱfalse prophets.

²⁷But I say unto you which hear, ^kLove your enemies, do good to them which hate you, ²⁸Bless them that curse you, and ^kpray for them which despitefully use you. ²⁹And ^lunto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; ^mand him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. ³⁰Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. ³¹And ⁿas ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. ^32oFor if ye love them which love you, what ^pthank have ye? for ^qsinners also love those that love them. ³³And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what ^pthank have ye? for ^qsinners also do even the same. ^34rAnd if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what ^pthank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. ³⁵But ^slove ye your enemies, and do good, and ^rlend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ^tye shall be the children of ^uthe Highest: for he is ^xkind unto the unthankful and to the evil. ³⁶Be ye therefore ^ymerciful, as your Father also is ^ymerciful. ^37zJudge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: ^aforgive, and ye shall be forgiven: ^38bGive, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your ^cbosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

³⁹And he spake a parable unto them, ^dCan the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? ^40eThe disciple is not above his master: but every one ^||that is ^fperfect shall be as his master. ^41zAnd why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ⁴²Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. ^43gFor a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. ^44hFor every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they ^†grapes. ⁴⁵ⁱA good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: ^kfor of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

^46lAnd why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? ⁴⁷Whosoever cometh to me, and ^mheareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: ⁴⁸He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. ⁴⁹But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that ⁿwithout a foundation built an house ⁿupon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
