26. Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27. But I say to 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 to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not to take thy coat also.
30. Give to every man that asketh of 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. For if ye love them who love you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33. And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34. And if ye lend to them from whom ye hope to receive, what thanks have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much in return.
35. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.
36. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
