20 The Beatitudes27 “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 whoomistreat you. 29 Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away yourpcoat, do not withhold yourqshirt from him either. 30 Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 31 rTreat others the same way you wantsthem to treat you. 32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend,texpecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. 36 uBe merciful, just as your Father is merciful. | |
