Luke 6:27-36
1599 Geneva Bible
27 ¶ (A)[a]But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies: do well to them which hate you.
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which hurt you.
29 (B)And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other, (C)and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee: and of him that taketh away the things that be thine, ask them not again.
31 (D)And as ye would that men should do to you, so do ye to them likewise.
32 (E)For if ye love them which love you, [b]what thank shall ye have? for even the sinners love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good for them which do good for you, what thank shall ye have? for even the sinners do the same.
34 (F)And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank shall ye have? for even the sinners lend to sinners, to receive the like.
35 Wherefore love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, [c]looking for nothing again, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of (G)the most High: for he is kind unto the unkind, and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

- Luke 6:32 What is there in this your work, that is to be accounted of? for if you look to have commodity by loving, seek those commodities, which are commodities indeed: love your enemies, and so you shall show to the world that you look for those commodities, which come from God.
- Luke 6:35 When you will lend, do it only to benefit and pleasure withall, and not for hope, to receive the principal again.
