Luke 6:27–38

²⁷“But I say to you who hear, ^alove your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁸bless those who curse you, ^apray for those who ¹mistreat you.

²⁹“^aWhoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your ¹coat, do not withhold your ²shirt from him either.

³⁰“Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

³¹“^1aTreat others the same way you want ²them to treat you.

³²“^aIf you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

³³“If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

³⁴“^aIf you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.

³⁵“But ^alove your enemies, and do good, and lend, ¹expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be ^bsons of ^cthe Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.

³⁶“¹Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

³⁷“^aDo not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; ^1bpardon, and you will be pardoned.

³⁸“Give, and it will be given to you. They will ¹pour ^ainto your lap a ^bgood measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
