27  But alla I say legō to you hymeis who ho are listening akouō to me: Love agapaō · ho your hymeis enemies echthros; do poieō good kalōs to those ho who hate miseō you hymeis, 28 bless eulogeō those ho who curse kataraomai you hymeis; pray proseuchomai for peri those ho who threaten epēreazō you hymeis. 29 To the ho one who strikes typtō you sy on epi the ho cheek siagōn, offer parechō the ho other allos also kai; and kai from apo the ho one who takes airō your sy · ho coat himation, do kōlyō not withhold kōlyō even kai your ho shirt chitōn. 30 To all pas who ask aiteō of you sy, give didōmi, and kai from apo the ho one who takes airō away what ho belongs to you sos, do not demand apaiteō it back .

31  And kai as kathōs you wish thelō that hina others anthrōpos would do poieō to you hymeis, · ho do poieō so homoiōs to them autos. 32 And kai if ei you love agapaō those ho who love agapaō you hymeis, what poios credit charis is it eimi to you hymeis? For gar even kai · ho sinners hamartōlos love agapaō those ho who love agapaō them autos. 33 And kai if ean you do good agathopoieō to those ho who love agathopoieō you hymeis, what poios credit charis is that eimi to you hymeis? Even kai · ho sinners hamartōlos do poieō the ho same autos. 34 And kai if ean you lend daneizō to those from para whom hos you hope elpizō to receive lambanō, what poios credit charis is that eimi to you hymeis? Even kai sinners hamartōlos lend daneizō to sinners hamartōlos that hina they may receive apolambanō · ho in return isos. 35 But plēn love agapaō · ho your hymeis enemies echthros, and kai do good agathopoieō, and kai lend daneizō, expecting nothing mēdeis in return apelpizō. Then kai your hymeis reward misthos will be eimi · ho great polys, and kai you will be eimi sons hyios of the Most High hypsistos, for hoti he autos is eimi kind chrēstos to epi the ho ungrateful acharistos and kai evil ponēros.

36  Be ginomai compassionate oiktirmōn, just kathōs as · kai · ho your hymeis Father patēr is eimi compassionate oiktirmōn.

27 But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, 28 bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. 29 To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also. 30 Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32 And if ye love them that love you, what thank have ye? for even sinners love those that love them. 33 And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? for even sinners do the same. 34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much. 35 But love your enemies, and do them good, and lend, [a]never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. 36 Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
