Luke 6:28-36

English Standard Version

²⁸^(A)bless those who curse you, ^(B)pray for those who abuse you. ²⁹^(C)To one who ^(D)strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic^[a] either. ³⁰^(E)Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. ³¹And ^(F)as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

³²^(G)“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. ³³And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. ³⁴And ^(H)if you ^(I)lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. ³⁵But ^(J)love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and ^(K)you will be sons of ^(L)the Most High, for ^(M)he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. ³⁶^(N)Be merciful, even as ^(O)your Father is merciful.
