Luke 6:28–36
28bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.↗
29To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.↗
30Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.↗
31“As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.↗
32“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.↗
33If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.↗
34If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.↗
35But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.↗
36“Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.↗
