New Testament

Luke 6:21-36 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

21. Blessed are you that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are you that weep now: for you shall laugh.

22. Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

23. Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

24. But woe unto you that are rich! for you have received your consolation.

25. Woe unto you that are full! for you shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for you shall mourn and weep.

26. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

27. But I say unto you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to them who hate you,

28. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you.

29. And unto him that smites you on the one cheek offer also the other; and he that takes away your cloak forbid not to take your coat also.

30. Give to every man that asks of you; and of him that takes away your goods ask them not again.

31. And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them likewise.

32. For if you love them who love you, what thanks have you? for sinners also love those that love them.

33. And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have you? for sinners also do even the same.

34. And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks have you? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

35. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

36. Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
