27 But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
29 To him who smites thee on the cheek offer also the other; and him who takes away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every one that asks of thee; and of him who takes away thy goods demand them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also in like manner to them.
32 For if ye love those who love you, what thanks have ye? For even the sinners love those who love them.
33 And if ye do good to those who do good to you, what thanks have ye? For even the sinners do the same.
34 And if ye lend to those of whom ye hope to receive, what thanks have ye? And sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive as much in return.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful and evil.
36 Be ye merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 And judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned; acquit, and ye shall be acquitted.
38 Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure with which ye mete it shall be measured to you again.
