Love Your Enemies
27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who
curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 To him who strikes
you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away
your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who
asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also
do to them likewise. 32 “But if you love those who
love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who
love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do
good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to
receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners
to receive as much back. 35 But love your enemies,
do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will
be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the
unthankful and evil. 36 Therefore be merciful, just
as your Father also is merciful."
