Luke 6:18-33 Modern English Version (MEV)

18. including those who were vexed by unclean spirits. And they were healed.

19. The whole crowd tried to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

20. He lifted up His eyes on His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor,for yours is the kingdom of God.

21. Blessed are you who hunger now,for you shall be filled.Blessed are you who weep now,for you shall laugh.

22. Blessed are you when men hate you,and when they separate you from their company and insult you,and cast out your name as evil,on account of the Son of Man.

23. “Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for indeed, your reward is great in heaven. For in like manner their fathers treated the prophets.

24. “But woe to you who are rich,for you have received your consolation.

25. Woe to you who are filled,for you shall hunger.Woe to you who laugh now,for you shall mourn and weep.

26. Woe to you, when all men speak well of you,for so their fathers spoke of the false prophets.

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 also the other. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30. Give to everyone who asks of you. And of him who takes away your goods, do not ask for them back.

31. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

32. “For if you love those who love you, what thanks do you receive? For even sinners love those who love them.

33. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do you receive? For even sinners do the same.
