24. `But woe to you--the rich, because ye have got your comfort.
25. `Woe to you who have been filled--because ye shall hunger. `Woe to you who are laughing now--because ye shall mourn and weep.
26. `Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you--for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.
27. `But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you,
28. bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely;
29. and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back.
30. `And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again;
31. and as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them in like manner;
32. and--if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them;
33. and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same;
34. and if ye lend [to those] of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners--that they may receive again as much.
35. `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;
36. be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.
37. `And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.
38. `Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.'
